Poetry Break: Big Issue

Fishing Pole
Obviously

Don't even think about it!

Big Issue
Easy come, easy go? Don't touch this with a four-foot pole!

At a loss for words . . .

Heeeeey—this feels like a cheat. Is this still a one-sentence poem? I'm not saying it's two sentences, but it's certainly more than one sentence. (A command is also called an imperative sentence, so I'm counting "Don't touch this..." as a sentence.)

But it's still a one-liner! And note that the imperative is, metrically, four feet. I warned you not to touch this with a four-foot pole!

Right—a one-liner, not a one-sentencer. My mistake.

But we'll have no more naughty references to my four-foot pole. Don't want to frighten the ladies.

Agreed. No more references to poetic meater.
