Elo is a rating system, for measuring your playing strength relative to your opponents.

Elo is a magnificent thing,

like that doorbell that is fun to ring.

Elo is also something many lack

it takes time to get the knack.

Sadly some people will never be skilled,

Though they try and try, they can’t feel fulfilled 

so they stay on the forums, craving attention 

a substitute to their wit, which will never strengthen

It isn't so easy to explain, but it has to do with a calculus curve and statistics as elo can be applied over a standard bell-curve. Since it is tricky to explain to less math-people, that is why chess.com created "accuracy" (CAPS). It isn't a perfect system, but I like it and IM @DanielRensch explains it well here:
