Alphabet Soup
Alphabet Soup
Everywhere I look, I see acronyms…
A language all of its own for each category.
A shorthand of sorts.
Outsiders confused and aggravated.
They requested clarification.
Only to be answered with jargon shorthand.

Life's Jargon
When breath is gone
The body is broken
When trust is gone
The relationship is broken.
The one who cheat cries
The one who have been cheated
Also cries, the difference
Only takes after two days.
The less the expectation
The more to life is beautiful
The best you give to work
The greater is the reward.

Should we forget about freedoms.?? And accept some
Pre-doms? Like a pre-bunking' so childlike and clunking.'
Breaking structure much nomen-less clutter..' A nonsense of
Pre-sense..' showing credentials quite useless.' Artificial
Utopia advertizing a visionary myopia.' Its peonies and
Pretzels to supplement 'word salad' utensils.?? With Kids flying
Killer drones..' we must emerge from this twilight zone.!

War Jargon
Some say, “he took a life,”
or many lives,
some say it that way
and do not call it what it is.
Where would we take that life anyway,
and it we took it away
what would we do with it?
Imagine having to keep
the ‘taken'’ somewhere
killing would be such a waste
of a soldiers duty and training.
Every home would be a prison

Posture and Promise
THEY THOUGHT IT WAS SOUND BUSINESS
THEY CONDUCTED THESE DOINGS UNDER
THE CLOAK OF EAGERNESS
READY AND WILLING TO TAKE PART IN SOMETHING
SPECIAL AND SOMETHING SO FUTURISTIC
THAT IT WAS KEPT SECRET TO SHIELD A WORLD AGAINST
IT'S UNREADINESS.
IT SOUNDS LIKE SOMETHING THAT ONLY THE VERY
SMART AND EFFLUENT MIGHT UNDERSTAND AND
ONLY THE WEALTHY COULD APPRECIATE
THROUGH EXPERIMENTATION AND A

Dietitian Jargon
If it smells good and tastes good, I will be munching
Eating is not about caloric number crunching
My taste bud is the judge and not the dietitian
Water, oil and heat there is no complication
Vegans have turned me into a carnivore
Better run, can’t you hear the canine roar
I dig deep into my fried chicken and t-bone steaks
I

Institutional Jargon
Strait lined jacket,
A wheelchair line-up peruses the pasty walls
In synchronized fashion
Secured by schedule
Where the pristine uniform
Clicks heels and strides with purpose
Adorned the fob with pen in pocket
To check the clock and the parade
Of faceless dozers where faraway tellies drone
Dismissed the saline droplet from folded eye
Ignored the fragmented desire to talk
Removed

Real Estate Jargon Explained
Real Estate Jargon Explained
By Elton Camp
When a house is for sale there’s good reason why
Trouble can come to anyone who advertises a lie
If the sellers certain expressions carefully choose
It will become easy the careless buyer to confuse
“This house is simply loaded with charm.”
Means we hope old and ugly won’t alarm
If you see it’s a “Pet

Shun Ethnic Jargon
In a kingdom afar
Dispute broke out and transfer
Through the land like wild fire
Then came an old man with eyes of sapphire
With wisdom that equals that of Solomon
Without delay he summoned the powerful, high and common
First to arrive was the Head, Hand and Leg tribe
Then came came Belly and Heart tribe holding plaque, war inscribe
