Oh yes, that's a great footle, Jack. Isn't this a fun form? Look how much you said in four syllables. A winner for sure! Love, Carolyn

Hi Jack, you need two lines, each having two syllables, for a footle. The form was introduced to the Soup by Brian Strand. You can add another line to this and enter it. I just posted a footle that might serve as an example. Very simple form and fun to write. Yours could be very witty, as most are intended to be. Love, Carolyn (leaving for the neurologist now)
