Funny and simple. I love short poems. Second, I wonder why all letters in your poem's titles are capital?

Jan Allison

I use capitals as I like the title to stand out Abdullah :-) I love the footle form it is simple and so few words can build up a funny story:-) hugs Jan xx

Jan, good example for your contest, hope I can come up with something, I am not a fun person (in poetry that is) so it is hard for me to write funny...
