I have a poem, a poem which I wrote that I will give to you, this poem which is my poem....
(clearing throat): aaaaaaaaaaaaagghhhhhh heeemmmmmmm
aaaahhhhh hmmmm
Excuse me.... cough.... ahem... ack....uh...
Anyway.... this poem is my poem which I will give to you now... it is the WORLD'S SHORTEST POEM...
...supposedly Muhamed Ali wrote the world's shortest poem beating out another poem...
... therefore the world's shortest poem was originally called:
FLIES
and it goes like this:
FLIES
Adam
Had 'em
However, when Muhamed Ali was in Zaire for the famous "Rumble in the Jungle" not only did he beat George Foreman to a pulp he also beat the world's shortest poem to a pulp (not necessarily the fictional kind, either)...
....anyway... cough... ahem....
His poem, dedicated to his brethren in Zaire went like this (and it's a lovely little rhyming poem):
Me
We
I believe it was with the same title as well...
... but my poem, to the best of my knowledge, is definitely,
ladies and gentlemen and not so lady-like readers and not so gentle-men...
...drumroll...
THE WORLD'S SHORTEST POEM!!!
Um, I realize it might also be the world's longest introduction but anyway.... ahem...
here it is....
...it's a nice little slice of words and I wrote it with me in mind. I hope you enjoy it. It is entirely my poem which I wrote myself...
... are you ready?
(clearing throat): aaaaaaaaaaaaggghhhemmmmmmm....
here it is now....
please hold your applause...
it's called:
My Poem Which I Wrote Myself
