I found this idea so charmingly ridiculous. I wrote probably a dozen of them that worked (with varying levels of quality), and made efforts for several more that didn’t. Here are instructions for how to try it yourself, a couple more of mine that I liked, one from my college kiddo, and one written by my friend Cyndi, who is a great sport for participating just for my amusement. These are from my Instagram post, which by its nature was much wordier than I was allowed to be on Twitter.

To get started, I found it easiest to pick a random letter on the keyboard, or go ahead and choose a first word. Then use predictive text from there, counting 5/7/5 syllables. Some of them just didn’t work. But here are a couple I liked.

Sweet dreams and good news
I hope it’s not too late for
The other people

Whoops sorry if you
didn’t have any questions but
I thought it would work
💗
And one about self care, written by my offspring:
Fun and stuff to do—
It’s okay to have some stuff.
It’s okay to be.
💕✨🍭
And here’s Cyndi’s. I am all in on this one.
Can you meet at the lake
place tomorrow night too
party at my place
