H: I've got it! I've got it! The pellet with the poison's in the vessel with the pestle; the chalice from the palace has the brew that is true! Right?
G: Right. But there's been a change: they broke the chalice from the palace!
H: They *broke* the chalice from the palace?
G: And replaced it with a flagon.
H: A flagon...?
G: With the figure of a dragon.
H: Flagon with a dragon.
G: Right.
H: But did you put the pellet with the poison in the vessel with the pestle?
G: No! The pellet with the poison's in the flagon with the dragon! The vessel with the pestle has the brew that is true!
H: The pellet with the poison's in the flagon with the dragon; the vessel with the pestle has the brew that is true.
G: Just remember that.

Some years ago at work I was challenged by a colleague to write an 'instant' poem, and this is what I came up with in less than two minutes!
Spider
I sat and watched a spider
Crawling up the wall
Wondering, quite idly,
Why it didn’t fall.
It crawled across the ceiling
Then onto the door
And when it came back down to earth
I squashed it on the floor!
