""I would like to strike a style to amaze." And I am stricken.
(Stricken is disyllabic. (Disyllabic is tetrasyllabic. (Tetrasyllabic is pentasyllabic. (Pentasyllabic is mercifully pentasyllabic, which makes it autological. (Autological is pentasyllabic.)))))

“When I am with you, we stay up all night.
When you're not here, I can't go to sleep.
