Nash has been a favorite for more than mmmmph years....And this and one of WH Auden's limericks are two of the more brilliant works of poetry in less than a hundred words.

Have you ever read Spike Milligan's "Small Dreams of a Scorpion"? I was read some of his things when I was young. I know he was a seminal comedian, but he was also a depressive, and he wrote some very short, sharp poems...

"There are holes in the sky, where the rain gets in. But they're ever so small, that's why rain is thin."

There are other, quite visceral poems of his. I recommend anyone to go read them.
