T.L.A. TRIVIA.

T.L.A. TRIVIA.

T.L.A. - Three letter abbreviations,
We all use them in our conversations,
Like CSI, FBI and DNA,
They make our sentences quicker to say.

It's faster to say these letters three,
Than a group of words in a phrase, you see,
But as you must have learned at school,
There are usually exceptions to the rule.

I have discovered there is one T.L.A.
Somewhat longer than its three words to say.
Do you know the one that will trouble you?
Count the syllables in W.W.W.

World Wide Web has three beats to its bar,
W.W.W. has nine - more by far.
Just interesting trivia that I found,
About the English language, to pass around.
