Stanfordspeak: A Poem

Everywhere one looks, one sees
Mangled word menageries.
CoHo, FroYo, FacSen, more:
Hacked and pasted words galore!

SLAC and BRAN and LAW and HOV;
HMS, and ENG, and GOV;
SULA, SULSA, SALSA, SAL --
What's the purpose of it all?

What could all these letters mean?
Branch, Coordinate, or Green?
We've all got, upon our backs,
Acronymphomaniacs!

Samson, Cardinal, Elaine --
All these titles! What a pain!
Who can keep them all in mind?
Who can free us from this bind?

Once I dreamed, when young and bold,
I might learn, ere I grew old,
All our tongue, in all its glory.
Now it's quite another story.

I have suffered horrid harm
To my English on the Farm:
I'll depart from it a freak,
Speaking only Stanfordspeak.

--Anonymous
