Okay, this is in response to the poem before. I was only making it for a contest, but it had to be 26 lines (including stanzas) and 70 characters (including spaces). Tell me if you think that's actually possible with having MORE than one word in each line.

I'm trying to make it short

I can't seem to do it.

Help me, Good Lord.

I can't seem to know.

I ask my mother,

Oh, what can I do

To make it much shorter,

Do you have any suggestion?

She says 'no,

I can't make it any better.'

Should've known...

It was just that good.

I ask my brother,

Oh, what can I do

To make it so much shorter,

What can I do, oh brother?

He didn't seem to understand though,

How I needed it shorter, not longer.

He tried to help,

But there is no way

We can think it shorter.

Then I asked my father,

Oh, what can I do?

What can I do

To make it much shorter?

I'm desperate, oh father,

Please help me in this time.

I NEED it shorter!

Help me to make so, so much shorter!!

And he asked what I wanted to get across...

Before he loses focus

Darn you, ADHD.

I ask myself once more.

Oh, what can I do

To make it much shorter,

Much, much shorter

What can I do

To put it in 70 characters

And nothing more?

What can I do?

What can I do

To make this shorter??

What can I do?

What can I change?

How do I make this shorter?

Tell me, Good Lord

How can I make this shorter?

In the end,

I made it short but HORRIBLE.

And for no purpose-

I couldn't complain.
