looks kinky... OK, we can sacrifice meter, but that doesn't even come close to rhyming.

How about ...

Touching Tricky

Okay, okay...I got carried away...

but perhaps Cleopatra can, by royal decree, declare that my poem does indeed have four word only? *beg*


Royal Cleo
awing me - O!

"O!" isn´t a word, it´s just a single letter!

[a. Fr. ennui, OF. enui:---L. in odio: see annoy, ennoy, which are older adoptions of the same Fr. word.
So far as frequency of use is concerned, the word might be regarded as fully naturalized; but the pronunciation has not been anglicized, there being in fact no Eng. analogy which could serve as a guide.]

Ennui
O E D

Gosh, these are much too long for me. I like the 2-worders, like "Lines on the antiquity of Fleas," recited by the lady:

Quoth Madam,
"Adam had'em".

Or notifying the bosses of "The Maid's Day Off",

Dear Sirs,
"Thurs.
Hers."

[Marc]

Four word?

How absurd!

Damned spot!

Physic, fie!
Not I.

Dawn? No:
Juliet's glow!
