An Epigram is a short poem with wit or satire at its core.  It can be as short as a single line but usually is a couplet (two lines) or quatrain (four lines).  This is the equivalent of a comedians one liner or a politicians sound bite.   The name derives from the Greek word ‘epi-gramma’ meaning inscription.
