New Years Day
First, what did yesternight deliver?
"Another year has gone for ever."
And what is this day's strong suggestion?
"The passing moment's all we rest on!"
Rest on-for what? what do we here?
Or why regard the passing year?
Will Time, amus'd with proverb'd lore,
Add to our date one minute more?
A few days may-a few years must-
Repose us in the silent dust.
Then, is it wise to damp our bliss?
Yes-all such reasonings are amiss!
The voice of Nature loudly cries,
And many a message from the skies
That something in us never dies.
Robert Burns

That wouldn't make sense. An abbreviation is a shorter version of a word. An acronym is a word made up of the initials of the letters it stands for.Have a look on:Originally posted by stackpoleEh? It stands for Three Letter Abbreviation.

and also

My new year's resolution is to stop using acronyms.
