From the Archives: 5 Word Sentences

This sentence is five words. This is five words too. Five word sentences are fine. But too many are monotonous. Listen carefully to the sound. It is getting very boring. The sound of it drones. The ear demands more variety. Now listen. I vary my sentences creating music. Music. I use short sentences. And I use medium length sentences. And sometimes, when I feel the reader is relaxed, I make a sentence that clashes cymbals together, blows the loudest horn and says listen to me, I am important. Vary your sentences!!!!!

My friend’s response:

Aren’t you bored with these? 5 word sentences are boring. I really dislike these sentences. But I will write them.Let’s talk about something else. Did you know pigs fly? No, they really cannot fly. Perhaps you already knew that. Aren’t these sentences very boring? Do you want to switch?  Fine, let us start now. Sentences are to be varied.  Not just five stinkin’ words. Different lengths are very beautiful. Short and very long sentences. Medium length sentences are nice. Long sentences are most used.
