An acronymed life in three letters major
© PETER ANDERSSON

A MUSIC PARODY
BASED ON:
"I'VE BEEN EVERYWHERE"
BY: JOHNNY CASH



BONUS QUOTE:
"Why is abbreviated
such a long word?"

UNKNOWN
 
This song is a self-educational pet project of mine, it has been in the works for more than three years counting from the originally ditched idea (one that would have been too boring) of a straight up list parody based on acronyms. Now it has become much more than that and hopefully one of the more original parodies on this site, a four part story of life and death, in chronological order, told by such acronyms, all of them real* but several of them placed out of their normal context for humorous effect. It will all become clear as you read, but for a challenge, how many of them can you pick out without scrolling down to the clarifying list?

*This song/page is posted for an April 1st front page debut, as an extra pun one of the acronyms are totally made up, you get bonus points for picking that one out without cheating!


I've been reading all life since I
at young age cracked the grammar code
Wherein letters an' acronyms and abbrev'ations are a load
Now I'm gonna be a fucker, mess with your head awhile
Cos I have made a list of acronyms, it's almost bona fide
I'll guarantee I've seen them all, but FYI one's false
And I say, reader, I'll sing now, let's see what your mind recalls

It's a questionnaire, man
It's a questionnaire, man
Worked this list a year, man
Here in my rocking chair, man
And can you spot the spare, man
In this questionnaire
