Fitting the story of a life under a limit.
A comprehensive blurb read in under a minute.
“Brevity is the soul of wit.”; said Sir Oscar Wilde.
But minutia is needed for the tales that beguiled.
World building details are how the inspired immerses.
Even a folk song requires a few storied verses.
The better the punchline, the shorter is the word count.
But sometimes a laugh-line’s just a story’s brief dismount.
One-liners are funny but so is a vast satire.
Ignore limitations; trust the walk, not the tight-wire.
