Question: What do you think of my Con-Verb!?
I'm very new to this Con-verb thing, and I want to make sure I got it right!. I would appreciate feedback!. Thanks!.


Daddy

Bite your lip
Hold back your tears
And wait
For him to finishWww@QuestionHome@Com


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
Granny is right!. A Con-verb should be more direct!. This is more like a good poem!. The flagship Con-verb, CV-1, goes like this:

Tobacco
Became the bad guy
When John Wayne
Got lung cancer!.

They are meant to be wisdom in reverse!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I think TD invented the Converb for light subjects

This is very sad, since I suspect it refers to child-molestation, I may be wrong, it may just be making the child wait until the Daddy has finished speaking, but I suspect not

(I'm not an expert - I've starred this, hopefully Elaine Polin or TD will pick up on it and give you the definition)Www@QuestionHome@Com

Here are some I posted a while back!. Yours fits, sadly, but fits!.

If it only takes one to kill
then please tell
why you need an Uzi!?

Politicians…
always indignant
when not in power

Tattoos…
vivid memories
of stupid times

Honey, I’m pregnant
Rejoice…
we just spent $400K

If it’s a golden age
then why am I
still searching for gold!?

If gray hair means
wisdom
than why can’t I
find my keys!?

Celebrate the Fourth of July
Be patriotic…be American!
Enjoy the fireworks…

The Con-verb, as its inventor states is "a contrary proverb!." It should involve some kind of controversy!. No one can argue about this one!.

Keep trying, you will master the form!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Best I've read today!. Conveys a strong emotion in very few words!.

Not sure about the converb thing - but really your poem is good so who cares what pattern it follows !?Www@QuestionHome@Com

Sounds like me at a Karaoke bar!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
