Er,
You
Might want
To look at
The fourth line up there
Which is not three syllables long.

Cold,
bold
skies in
winter time
extract a price in
sweat during their opposite clime.
Miserable summer time! Humidity lies in
every low nook and every high cranny--there's no escape. Let me hear the sleigh bells chime!

EDIT: augh--in the preview window the last word was in the same line as the rest of its sentence!

A
One
Line fib
Can't be done
Because you count up
Syllables to tell you when you
Have enough to send a pleasing concatenation.

Out!
Out!
Damned spot
One, two, why
Oh, Hell is murky
Fie my lord, a solider afraid?
Who would have thought that Banquo had so much blood in him?

Oh,
He
rafted
and on mud
he wafted deeply
and with great inspiring lungs he told
of milkmaids who their lads enfold in suckle-suckling
to their primrose panties partings woo upon the woe upon the man drake rooted hoe upon him
Hmm, how many syllables are actually supposed to be in that last line?
