The clever and creative Bob Raczka gives us a skinny sonnet - a single word (and syllable, for that matter) per line but following the classic sonnet rhyme scheme:

a b a b

c d c d

e f e f

g g

That's... I mean... that's remarkable. I don't think I can do one... but heck, yeah, I'll try. Meantime, I recommend you head on out and find Bob's latest books - Like Best Friends and Beware! - to see more clever wordplay on display.
