CIA World Factbook, Peru, stopping brave
readers in our tracks - naming international
organisation participation, the fun starts as
the little alien in my head reads acronyms:
APEC, BIS, CAN, NAM, OAS – très oe là là,
the beginning of an exotic new alphabet
IHO, ILO, IMO, IMSO, UNCTAD - sounds
like onomatopoeia as in imitation yodelling:
Yodelii-hi-ho, lii-il-LO, lii-im-MO, lii-im-So
UNAMID, UNMISS – One-amid us bravely
said: Unmiss a Miss World winner-sinner
UPU, WCO, WFTU, - a Dr-Seuss rhyme
in rising cadence making little ones laugh
WHO, WIPO, WMO – whoopla, whoOO!
WTO - where you to - ah, there you too!
So, except for a cat - and a trap - and a
phantasmagorical scene with a fleeing
girl losing her shoes - dancing spirits &
evil red boots & Snegourka, the
Snow maiden melting in spring, a grating
noise in the chicken coup serving as an
open-plan office - NOTHING else shall
scare me today, I don’t fear acronyms
