Charles Bukowski has written some very short, funny poems. 

Sharing one such poem, ‘I Met a Genius’— 

I met a genius on the train

today

about 6 years old,

he sat beside me

and as the train 

ran down along the coast

we came to the ocean

and then he looked at me

and said,

it's not pretty.

it was the first time I'd 

realized 

that.
