Wit
Somewhere Shakespeare says it:
Brevity is the soul of wit.
So I tried to learn all about it.
Read so much, oh,
On how to be brief and witty.
Trained desperately to be so.
Tried to be witty in almost every party.
All that the guests had to say, invariably, was: What a pity!
So all that I’m left with now is self-pity.
I would advise you, therefore, not to try
If it isn't your cup of tea!
