Contrary to what is reported by many, the world's shortest poem is not Fleas (Adam Had 'em), though at one time it was the shortest.  The world's shortest poem is by The Greatest, Muhammad Ali, and I believe it was delivered during one of his Harvard University graduation speeches.  Though it was untitled, based on the content of the poem I believe we can title it Ali.  the poem is

Me,

Whee!!

There you have it, the world's shortest poem.

You are quite right, it is the shortest poem. However I believe it should read:

Me
We

Shorter still, and much more profound.

I feel me,we makes complete sense...

It's a view into one's pshyche.. The Non-egotistical view of the globally community
No longer do we exist in s'I'lo's..


There is no ME... only We


With correct punctuation, it should be:

Me?

We!

What am I going to do? No.. What are WE going to do..
What's in it for me?  What's in it for US!

Spot on. This is the  worlds shortest poem, delivered by a great man and a true hero for all. That said, Forman got the grill.

Also, as noted by another scolar on this page it is

ME

WE

Regards for now..
