Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
Here is the quote from TD: The Con-Verb (opposite of a Proverb) is meant to be a rude little squawk about anything that bothers the author!. There are no rhyme and meter requirements!. The only rules in Con-Verbs are: they must be short and to the point, they must have a barbed tale or other sharp stick at the end!.

Winning the lotto
will change your life
provided the taxes
don't bankrupt you first!

Cut down on the verbiage, eliminate all words that do not add to the power of your work, check your spelling carefully before posting!. Once you do so, you will have a viable Con-verb!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
