This isn't a joke, but rather a story about a bungled pick-up attempt, but it's incredibly short, and it rhymes:

World's shortest cowboy song:

One little kiss and Florina, goodbye

(I have a feeling I may have gotten the name wrong, but then that would be the joke, right?)

Then there's the Irish version:

Out in the West Irish county of Mayo
I fell in love with a Mayonnaise girl

Aloha,

Henny Youngman - the popularizer of "Take my wife … please" - was known as the "King of the One-Liners" but my favorite master of one- (or two-) liners today is Stephen Wright.

For example: "I'm having amnesia and déjà vu at the same time. I think I've forgotten this before."

"The sign at the restaurant said, 'Breakfast Served Any Time.' So I ordered French toast during the Renaissance."

Trevor: That T-Cooper joke you posted may be closer to reality than you imagined. I once worked as a volunteer at a suicide prevention hotline. (Not everyone who called was suicidal. We accepted calls from just about anyone. I just call it that so most people will know what I'm talking about. It was similar to what is called The Samaritans in Britain.)

I remember one caller who was upset because her shrink had told her she was "insecure." She reacted as if the doctor had told her she had cancer. She was practically sobbing when she asked me, "Do YOU think I'm insecure?"

Now, how do you answer a question like that? Sometimes you had to laugh. But you had to wait till the call was over and laugh with your co-workers.

Many folksong travesties are short - there's no point going any further than the point.

Living nine years in Scotland, we never heard this song sung any way except:

Carl Sandburg said the world's shortest song was :

Mama's in the graveyard

I sang this for over a decade before Garth Brooks used it and made a million bucks off of it.

I tried to write the world's shortest song once. Tried like hell. It ended up with 5 verses, 2 bridges, and one instrumental verse. It lasts about 4 minutes.

I tried to write the world's longest song one time too, and darn near succeeded, but it's not quite finished yet. I'll keep you posted.

Hey, this thread is supposed to be about short jokes isn't it?
