Epigrammatic.

“That wasn't a bad epigram on the magistrate’s part,’’ said the somewhat educated tramp who had been convicted for vagrancy. "What did he say?” asked the tramp’s pal. “Seven days,” came the reply. “That ain’t no epigram, is it?” Tm sure it is. I once asked a parson what an epigram was, and he saidn “It’s a short sentence that sounds light, but gives you plenty to think about."
