| | | Six words
I'm in a rut of ennui so I was thinking an exercise in six words might be entertaining. A while back, I stumbled across "Six Word Memoirs" which was a very nice collection of pithy almost-poetry almost-memoir by everyday folks - see http://www.smithmag.net/sixwords/
So, if you have six words about life here or, whatever, in whatever language you choose, share them  It's fun, or maybe I'm just so bored that my idea of fun is a bit on the square side....

Switzerland, Schweiz, Suisse, Svizzera or Svizra

But for goodness sake not 'Swiss'.
Okay, 3 lines of 6 words... sorry  |

A variation is to build the poem/memoir using the six words, but in pyramid form. IE: first word must contain one letter, second word has two, up to the sixth word having six letters.
