Some people think it's kinda slick To shorthand "microphone" as "mic". Myself I think it's just as dumb As spelling orgasm as "cum." Lift up, crack open the good book, folks, Where 'tis writ for all to see: "Come" is the word that's long been known, And "mike" is fine for "microphone." As poet-pedant I've been weary Of spelling idiosyncrasy-- Thanks for the chance to air this plea: Read and believe the dictionary.
