Teeny Tiny Rhymes for Folks Short on Time and Even This Title is Longer than Most of the Poems is a collection of pocket-sized poems (now at 50!) for which I abided by just three rules, while creating them: They had to be really simple, they could be no longer than 3 or 4 lines, and they had to evoke a silly and entertaining visual image. Here’s a few to chew on:

It’s hard to twinkle in there
