Acronyms

Acronyms are great when they come in letters 3.
There’s easy one’s like ICL, IBM, BBC
My job means that I learn new ones …SEM, SEO
there surely ain’t a TLA
that I don’t think I know.

Welcome to Isla Ruby Cowe

Isla Ruby Cowe
Isla Ruby Cowe
Early on the 6th of March
Graeme called to say
Louise's baby daughter
Had just popped out to play

Isla is a Scottish name
two river's that doth flow
and Ruby is a little gem
a fact I'm sure you know

In ten mins time we must go to
a meeting we can't miss
a wel-com-ing to the Cowe clan
of Ava's little sis
