REALLY AWFUL FIBS

Today’s NaPoWriMo prompt calls for ten terminological inexactitudes in ten lines:

 

I am the fairest of the fair:
Though I have lost all of my hair,
My teeth are all mine,
I don’t have a line.
And look quite magnificent bare;
My bulging biceps will impress;
I’m beautiful when I cross-dress,
And look twenty-nine;
This rhyme is divine!
I never from a point digress …

Just for fun, I refined my terza rima of yesterday a bit by pruning a beat from each line.  I think this proves less can be more:

This day, nearly-six-year-old
Entered for official trial;
Weather had turned rather cold. 

We’d been at it quite a while,
For eight hundred metres, swum, 
Has intimidating style.  

Of her peers appearing, some
Failed at a two-hundred ask,
But, unruffled, through she’d come.  

Pause to wave; in praise to bask;
Grinning; not the slightest frown;
Going on to do her task.  

Length on length and up and down;
Fifteen had become her score …
Minutes thirty-two, the crown,  

When completed was one more!
