Short but meaningful. SOmetimes a few words (in this case 2) can really express the author's feeling well. This poem is a good example. Good!

"Be cute." is better and shorter.

I am cute, but not short. Cute can be acquired, short cannot. In that lie all the reasons for politics and religion.

Having seen hundreds of variations on this - all of which were veritable piles of cack - imagine my surprise when I opened one that didn't scream out 'I'm crap! Hate me!' 8 for writing the only form of this that won't get the 'Pimple' rating on the ranker.

Thanks Ranger.
While in Art school me and my friends often imagined starting a T-shirt line(cheesy, I know). This was one of my ideas.
Another idea of mine was "We endorse censorshit!"

Not short enough.

It is wonderful to find someone who writes a two word poem AND ONE OF THEM IS SPELLED WRONGLY! An unbeatable achievment.

...which is the entire point of the poem genius.

NEWSFLASH: Nobody uses "WRONGLY" at the end of a verb anymore except very old English people. ("WRONGLY spelled" would have been fine.)

How about "creatively spelled"?
