Default Short words

Perhaps many of you have heard this already and I think I did many years ago too but a friend and I just talked about it and I've always found it somewhat inspiring.
Can you name a sentence that has 10 words in it and every word is only two letters long?

Yes, it's called "short". Short words/short sentence.

It just goes to show that as we get long-in-the-tooth, our words get shorter.
