It's a poem, right?
Twabbles take up so little space and so very little time.
The least we can do,
for the Doctor's grace, is to make 'em rhyme.

We have had a discussion on the awesomeness of rhyming twabbles. Kudos.

Hello guys. Here's my first submission.
Re: Rhyming twabbles.
What do you mean rhyme?
Don't take my first born, please manitee.
Why must his name contain rhyme?
I'll name him after me.

Thank you Varda.
Here's one I prepared earlier.
Invaders from a red planet sent the Eiffel Tower running. The tripods vowed to destroy all quadrapods. "NO PRISONERS".

I was called a prodigy, the best the school had seen.
So, I graduated and cursed it. I was very mean.
But, my record stands.

Thanks, y'all! It was originally a drabble and went all the way back to D'oh... but it was way, way too short, and there's really no way to pad something like this out and keep the meter.

Not bad but Grammar Nazi is

There is a missing comma (or period) and quotation mark.
Also, might be more fun if it was something like: "Short-sighted, MoFo".

If instead of periods, women had apostrophes...
Then, they'd be more possessive and have more frequent contractions.

The doc said to eat 5 karats a day, for my eyesight. I'm broke now. Diamonds are an expensive habit.

Cute.
Alas, perhaps the eyesight
is bad.
That is far short of twabble length.

You forgot to include the "to yourself".

From the ICU, it's clear I should have cleaned the fridge. How could I have known eggnog could achieve sentience so fast?
