I have two favourite acronyms

To help me through each day

One is ICBB, the other SOA.

 

Acronyms are handy

If one doesn't elaborate

In explaining just how one feels,

Or wants to commiserate

 

With someone who is lonely

Or fed up to the teeth

Although ICBB seems rather rude

As one hears another's grief.

 

So I'll save up my acronyms

For one who knows me well

And will not be offended

As my sorry tale I tell.

 

Instead of raving on and on -

Pardon me if I have slobbered -

As I turn another page;

ICBB - I can't be bothered,

Or SOA - stinking old age.
