I had a dream that I composed a book entirely of 2 and 3 letter words. The idea being that shorter words should be more common and therefore simpler. When I woke up, I actually tried it: An Ax in My Ox, by MP If it is an ax in my ox, is it up to us to go on to it or do we go up by it? Oh no! An ax of my ox is to be. Lo, at my ox is no ax. Ah me, so as no ax is in my ox, he is ok.
