    The actor in the centre of the stage looks sadly at a teacup, reads a poem off of the teacup, then covers his face with a page from the poem on the teacup.
From 'Little Viola Hidden in the Orchestra', by of Montreal.

    I got big balls Big ole balls Big as grapefruits Big as pumpkins Yes sir, yes sir And on my really good days They swell to the size of small dogs My balls are as big as small dogs
From 'Tiger Woods' by Dan Bern.

    Even Cathy Berberian knows There's one roulade she can't sing
From 'Your Gold Teeth' by Steely Dan (but then, most of their lyrics are great).

    Nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing, Nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing. Nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing, Nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing.
From 'Nothing' by Mujuice.

Edit: Whoops, I guess I missed the 'keep it short' part...

The Cathy Berberian line! Oh emm gee I love that line! I had to learn who she was and what a roulade is, which made the line a near koan.

Edit: I also finally learned how to format links in hubski. I need to post more...
