Single Vowel Sentence

Post by gneissisnice »

I had the idea for a fairly interesting game earlier today, I thought I'd stick it up here.

The goal is to see what kind of sentence you can make using only one kind of vowel in the entire sentence (not counting Y as a vowel). For example, here's one with the letter E:

Ben met Mel between the cemetery beds; he rented them there.

As you can see, that sentence has no vowels but "E".

What kind of sentences can you guys make?

Sure, it's a valid sentence. You have a subject, verb and direct object, that's basically all you need.
