Good, short letters are what I seek,
For when they’re long, I grow quite weak
And I lose interest half way through (Can’t they trim a word or two!?)
Make their missives short and sweet,
To the point, succinct and neat.
Then, with their message clear and bold,
All my attention they will hold.

ED: A point succinctly made, Pat. Correspondents please note!
