do you think the skill at writing six words would translate? also, if you can envision one of your memoirs as a card, please feel free to share a description.
*Cover*
~For The Office Whiner~
I'm sorry that your boyfriend lied,
I'm sorry that your old dog died.
I hate to hear you lost your job,
Your illness makes me want to sob.
Oh no! You say your car broke down,
And that your roommate is a clown.
But let me tell you - this is true -
I have my own sad issues too.
So keep your whining down a bit
'Cause we all deal daily with this shit.
*Inside*
So please get over it already,
And also try to be more steady.
You're outlook's bleak as death,
And by the way, you have bad breath.
So here's some Certs and a Paxil, too,
So maybe you'll become less blue.
At first my answer was going to be 'yes'...but after reading these other comments, I'm going to spare the world my greeting cards, and say kudos to all of the above contributions.
I just realized that I did the wrong "you're" instead of your. Ugh!
About Six-Word Questions
SMITH Magazine brings you an entirely new kind of six-word experience: Six-Word Questions. This is the place to pose a question to the SMITH community from, "What are your favorite Six-Word quotations" to challenging members to pen Six-Word Obituaries to the recently departed to Six-Word jokes and any other Six-Word question you can dream up. You can even request that the responses be in six words. Everyone has a question—what's yours?

I wrote this some time back. Might make a good card for someone who's going through a rough patch: "Gump was right... not enough rocks."ba_miracle says,
In School many people encouraged me to write cards/poetry (and actually I made many for teachers and students). I think I'm too jaded now.Epically, the only way to fail.
(For a job loss or divorce.)
You've got life, it is terminal.
(For birthdays or seriously calloused get well cards)
I Love you, we're still over. or/and
I forgave you, we're still over.
(Nice breakup cards, hopefully not on Valentines day)
Feeling well would be truly swell
but suck it up and get back to work anyway.
(you know from H.R. and the gang ;-)

Roses are red.Violets are blue.
I'm too lazy to write,
but still thinking of you.
