Analysis of No One Can Spell Mnemonic
No one call spell "mnemonic"
the aid for memory.
It is oddly ironic
It is oddly atonic
It is oddly moronic
as anyone can see.
No one call spell "mnemonic"
or cut syllabic sound.
There is nothing laconic
There is nothing phonetic
There is nothing harmonic
for anyone around.
No one call spell "mnemonic"
without its own device.
It is plainly cyclonic
It is plainly demonic
It is plainly draconic
to anyone precise.
