Best Acronym Poems
I am a very old senior white male. At 10 years of age I was playing with two black friends when a bully who was white and twice our size started calling my Friends the N word so my friends ran away and so did I.
I never heard the word before this was the first time even though half my school was black.
I went home and asked my Mother what it meant.
She wrote the word down the left side of the page and said .....
The word is an acrostic son it means .....

My gramps was a long-staunch Baptist of the sort S.B.C.,
Until his local congregation got beholden to the R.N.C.
Gramps was a hoot – on a Friday he joined the K.K.K.,
Saturday, he quit because it wasn’t a branch of the Y.M.C.A.
Afterwards, he feared a knock on his door from the C.I.A.
Would negate all his years working with the B.S. of A.
Gramps continued his strong support for the N.A.A.C.P.
But said he was canceling his membership in the B.B.B.
He was a coal miner, but Gramps never joined the A.F. of L.
It was years before he learned the union was not a U.R.L.
Adhesive seems to screen,
like a cage I found my being,
Imprisoned you!
Either intimidation or empowerment it slain,
Land in towns,...fence all over queen,
with one tree surrounded by forest,
Equiping personality negatively or positively in mess,
Stimulant to nerves,...shadow of tense,
Controller reasoning with thief of decisiveness,
Troublesetter good works fulfilled,
All on a pace,Yearning it boosts,
Holding key of routes,
Ladder of a wretched man,
Staircase to dreamers fan,
Dwellers in ghetto and slum,
Their Landlord,...Estate agent to tennants in a bungalow,
Serve as a crown made from amethyst,....and crown from hollow,
Defined with fear or enthusiasm,
Anxiety pinned to hope,hatred about scope,
Solidified by ground of pressure and disclosure,
Reliefs a contrite spirit,
Distuction underlying a smiling realist,
Every moment nailed to counters,
Figures outcomes converse,
Planet manipulated by force of attraction,
Born out from a mustard pest,
The overwhelming acronym of ADDICTION!
My first day on the floor as a LVN
I mistakenly agreed to PRN
When I arrived, was sent straight to PICU
Finished out day one up in the NICU
Day two I had an uncaring RNC
She didn’t want to give patient’s TLC
I was asked to go upstairs ASAP
The elevator was out so I arrived SOB
Immediately I was sent to see a PT
and told not to return without his BP
He told me to call the DME
or check over in L&D
“Oh, how did I confuse patient (pt)?
With physical therapist (PT)
The charge nurse asked, “Are you a brand new LVN?”
“Where did you work before? IBM?”
My next patient was none other than the POTUS
accompanied by his beautiful FLOTUS
He’d heard the story of the BP
and laughed so hard he almost was OOB
Don’t worry he joked we are all in GC
Blood Pressure and Bed Pan share the acronym BP

Excuse me if I do not cover my walls...
Jump up and down and celebrate...
As deceit... provocation...delay stalls...
It used to be a beautiful view...
Yet the rise and fall of peace...
...unrest of the mad man...
...We have lost more...
...Too easy words fall without fortitude...
of peace...
...Treat the wound of many...
... dispel the war of the undying...
Peace talks...Peace talks...
The mad man revels in the deceased...
with insidious outlined in the lying...
...The onlookers of the partakers...
...will seal in their own fate...
...Provocation acronym mad man...
...your belief system your mistake...
...And this deceit...stills hangs from
your neck...
Rise and fall of peace...
how many more need to fall...
...Through a narrow plane...
...an opened door...
...shares a gentle light...
...Where spirits fly eternal existence...
...For we do not die...
...We leave our messages within symbols behind...
...In the distance all shadows fall by the way...
...For light so bright...
...cannot possess...the spirit flies free flight...
...Forever even in darkest of night...
...The ray this hope this narrow plane...
...Spirit raised with wings...
...Forgiveness cradled in respite...

On coining an acronym for the neologism 'occult microaggresion'
'OM' is right,
But might get the Buddhists backs up....
OMA, WTAF? What about OMA?
Its German for granny, but I've no objection to teutonic geriatrics,
Unless they take hat tricks;
They can be surprisingly elastic -
Vorsprung durch plastic!
What's that you say, too bombastic?
I'll curtail the doggerel,
With a couple of matchsticks,
That used to work on the beatniks,
Although, Ginsberg could be slippery
When incensed by casual vivipiary,
'I saw the best minds of my generation destroyed by....
Sticklebricks' (sic).
It's such a minefield, this identity real politik;
As Trotsky said to Stalin:
'Josef Besarionis Jughashvili,
the proletariat can be real pricks',
And, as the Stranglers pointed out,
One of them finished him off with an ice pick!
But, as Galileo observed,
Maybe that's just the fate in store for bigoted denizens
Of this rotund and heliocentric
Planet; 'eppur si muove' he muttered,
And, although a trifle bucolic,
It seems a fitting epitaph for the Pisan melanancholic.
I apologise for this diatribe didactic,
The current pandemic has rendered me
in urgent need of a linguistic immunoelectrophoretic
When texting was just starting out, my friend texted LOL to me.
Little ornery lunatic?
Lovely ordinary laugh?
Luxuriously outstanding lady?
Lobe-oriented log-splitter?
Land over Lithuania?
Lime Orange Lion-berries?
I texted back “what is LOL?”
But she had shut her phone off
For the night.
I texted three more friends,
But their phones had also
Been shut off.
This was before people started
carrying their cellphones all
day long, looking at them
constantly you see.
LOL

That “keep it simple, stupid” line
Is wise advice, we must opine.
What’s more, some poems make us snort,
It could read, “keep it simply short.”
