At one site I was visiting this morning, someone asked for people to contribute a 29-word 'story' in honor of Leap Day.
Here's what I submitted:
It was on this calendar day,
I proposed to my lovely fiance'.
And though eleven years have came and went,
It is only the third anniversary of our engagement.
No one said it had to be poetic, but I decided to nix grammar in favor of rhyming.
So...I'm putting this out there for you: anyone have a 29-word story/statement/poem/confession they'd like to post for this once-every-1,461-days day?

I decided to combine your last 2 posts and write my life story in 29 words, plus make it ryhme! It's kind if silly, but it is a true story:
I was born in 1952,
A baby boomer through and through.
Century College became my home,
For 28 years I have refused to roam.
Now I barely need a comb!
I made a mistake. The previous version had 30 words. Here is the corrected version:
I was born in 1952,
A baby boomer through and through.
Century College became my home,
For 28 years I refused to roam.
Now I barely need a comb!
Well said. So succinct!
I enjoyed the humor thrown in at the end there.
(I wish I had back all the money I've spent on combs.)
