An Affinity With Acronyms (OTUS and OTY)
By CJ Reeves, Army
Writing Type: Poem
By CJ Reeves
Army calls me SATA,
Navy says I’m MATA.
At the SFVA,
Just an average
YATA.
Isn’t that
IRONIC
Or just RHETORIC?
This year I’m PLOTY;
Last year I was
VOTY.
At the CAPO,
I’m never SMOTY.
Sounds so
PLUTONIC
Maybe PEDANTIC.
On CAPITOL hill
Joe is POTUS,
Jill is FLOTUS,
There is no
SLOTUS.
It’s so SATIRIC,
Hint of SEMANTIC,
Just plain
ROMANTIC.
Our first ever SGOTUS,
Will he be
FGOTUS?
And, Justice on
the SCOTUS,
Read your COTUS
On the TOTUS.
Just ask the
VEEP.
Intent here was
DIDACTIC
To employ
neither TACTIC,
Nor make one FRANTIC,
Nor TRAUMATIC.
Not to be
HYPNOTIC,
Rather
HYPOSTATIC,
Or OXYMORONIC!
