My all time favorite short story:

"An old woman sat in her house.

She was alone. Everyone else in the world was dead.

The doorbell rings."

Hey, that's heavy stuff so I'll lighten it up with my favorite short poem:

Fleas
Adam
had 'em.

But in school, a student's goal is not to master his subject but to please -- indeed, even entertain -- his teacher.
You say this after you said this...
The teacher gives an "A" to the most entertaining submittal.
It seems as if they did what you say they're supposed to do to get a good grade, yet you're not happy with the grade that was given.
You've lost me!

There's a site (several actually) which publishes "Sci-Fiku" (science-fiction haiku). Sometime ago I read a faux scifiku on one of them, and I can't find it anymore, but I can repeat it:

Nice planets
All in orbit:
No bumping.

====================

Then there are Piet Hein's Grooks, now out of print:

Problems worthy of attack
Prove their worth
By hitting back.

You'll conquer the present
Suspiciously fast
If you smell of the future
And stink of the past.

===============================

Dog-ass tired, Dexter flops onto the sofa automatically reaching for the remote and grateful for the cool breeze coming through the windows... It had been a long day, part of a long week in what was promising to be another long, hot summer. He notices out of the corner of his eye that Cathy's remodelling of the adjoining den along victorian/roaring 'Twenties motif was a bit too garish for him - his private nickname for it was "Capone-Lite", but hey! - he didn't really care since she was such a sweet woman and besides, those mint-thingy whatevers that she loved to serve when wearing that lovely, lacey thing He'd bought her last weekend went down the pipe pretty smoothly, especially when liberally laced with a shot of Bombay.

He switches to ESPN; news of the NBA draft was blending into another Tyson-bashing remark on his most recent run-in. A sound wafts ("wafts???", he thinks... that's the kind of word Cathy would say...) from the Capone-Lite room... was Cathy calling him?

It's so archtypical, too. Intersex conversations have been going downhill at this velocity, to the same end, for the same issues since we've been wearing male and female skins.

The real humor is that Rebbecca and Gary will probably get married.

The following was actually turned in by two of my English students:

This is an old urban legend. It first appeared on an Internet joke list several years ago. Still funny as hell.

That's the thing. It doesn't matter if it's true or not. It's so reflective of male/female relationships that it's an archtype, and especially highlighted so well by the story.
