Your post, sir, was really quite rough.
I counted four words -- not enough.
You could have padded it with some drivel,
And made out poor heads swivel,
Then kept on 'til you have 42 words, and if you couldn't well,. that's tough!

Frankenstein created a race horse. Heading towards the final furlong, I shouted
"Go on my son, show us what you're made of!"
Unfortunately it did and fell apart at the final hurdle. It had one man in stitches but not the horse.

I'm sorry if I offended
I hope any wounds will be mended
quite soon or at least
before any beast
can take advantage
of wounds and of rage
I feel like a
just because I wanted
to learn how you counted
PS: True story! I wanted to know how you counted hyphenated words (one or two) and in the proces stumbled upon your miniscule miscalculation

My miscalculation was stranger
Than Tonto's love for the Lone Ranger,
But I will disclose
I've a bug up my nose,
And bells on my toes,
And solid steel hose,
And CDs in my Bose
And Easter eggs nested in my manger.

The Lone Ranger and Tonto were riding near night
they spied a fine camp site.
they soon pitched their tent
settled into the night.
by two they looked up and saw stars
what that mean white man?'
Don't know.
Somebody stole tent!

I planted a yellow rose bush, and it seems to be dying.
Ditto the Clematis next to it.
Is it the soil?
Coneflowers and yarrow grew happily there before.
Nature is a cruel mother. What about Father Nature? We'll blame him too.

Our church decided to organically synthesize the music. We brought in a Moog synthesizer. Then there the mice -- being church mice, they're poor. We'll have them ordained by Deacon Purrcell, who is a cat. The steeple leaks. We're looking for a steeplejack.

I lived in a village by the sea. We never worried about anything until the day Zelda the fortune-teller told us the town would be swept away in a tsunami.
"When?" we asked.
"Next Tuesday."
We put everything on an ark.

Somewhere in my front yard, covered up by huge zucchini leaves and dangling green beans, there is a cherub. It's a weathered cement color. This Fall, after the vegetables die, someone will ask what it is.
"It's my gardening angel," I'll say.
