Possibly the shortest poem ever written was variously attributed, including to Ogden Nash, and it's on fleas:

Adam
Had 'em.

Cheers,

Dorothy Parker wrote several short and pointed poems, such as

Men seldom make passes
At girls who wear glasses.

And there are also all the Burma-Shave ditties from the 1930s, which have their place in American history: http://thewhynot100.blogspot.com/201...ave-signs.html
