An Epigram is "A short poem ending in a witty or ingenious turn of thought, to which the rest of the composition is intended to lead up"

Example 1:

"I am his Highness' dog at kew;
Pray tell me, sir, whose dog are you?"

Example 2:

"Treason doth never prosper; what's the reason?
For if it prosper, none dare call it treason."


Now here is one that I was thinking of, but it's pretty weak... maybe you guys/gals can take a crack at it.

"We go to school to learn and get an
Education.
Yet, we return with pointless test scores and
Frustration."

there is no time like the present
and no present like the time

to write is to compose
but to limerick is to rhyme
