          This, I guess, is drawing on Horace's Ode to Postumus:
          "Sadly, the fleeting years slip away."




          Eheu fugaces Postume, Postume, Labuntur anni,




          vitae labilis (without est ) means 'slippery lives,' or 'stumbling lives.'
          For 'Fleeting years' Horace chose Fugaces Anni.



          'Life is Fleeting,' if you would like to follow Horace, would be Vita Fugax, or Fugax est Vita.

          The verb is unnecessary, so you could simply say:

                    One-line joke

                    A one-liner is a joke that is delivered in a single line. A good one-liner is said to be pithy - concise and meaningful. [1] Comedians and actors use this comedic method as part of their act, e.g. Jimmy Carr, Tommy Cooper, Rodney Dangerfield, Norm Macdonald, Ken Dodd, Stewart Francis, Zach Galifianakis, Mitch Hedberg, Anthony Jeselnik, Milton Jones, Shappi Khorsandi, Jay London, Mark Linn-Baker, Demetri Martin, Groucho Marx, Dan Mintz, Emo Philips, Tim Vine, Steven Wright and Henny Youngman and Arnold Schwarzenegger. [ citation needed ] Many fictional characters are also known to deliver one-liners, including James Bond, who usually includes pithy and laconic quips after disposing of a villain. [ citation needed ] Examples "A baby seal walks into a club." "A dyslexic man walks into a bra." (Anonymous) "There are three types of people, those who can count and those who can't." "Venison's dear, isn't it?" (Jimmy Carr) "An escala...
