Haiku Day-- Friday! Friday! Ooooohhhh... Friday!


Canby Telecom.
We'll clean your kitchen Faster.
Higher. Farther. BOOOOM!!!!!

That was last week's winner, from Tydwbleach. It's hard to wrap up all the complexities of a house explosion in three lines, but there you go... excellent job. Now you get to pick this week's winner.

And now, the topics for the contest:

1) Spider-pig!
2) The bar exam
3) Summer
4) Harry Potter
5) What I plan to do this weekend
6) Food
7) Socks
8) Electricity

Or, just pick your own. Here's my haiku:

Spider-pig! Splendid!
See him walk on the ceiling!
I love you, Homer.

Now, you go-- (5 syllables, 7 syllables, 5 syllables)

    Detroit Bands, they rock!
    Detroit Cobras, MC5
    Kick out the Jams, Yah!

  7. The actual line was "You remember uncle joe/he was afraid to cut the cake." Or something like that. I think Bob Seger couldn't find much to rhyme with the song title ("Fire lake")

    Summer decadence:
    Old friends, home-cooked Tuscan meals,
    Wine flowing, the deck

    Overflows with warmth;
    Porch potatoes for three days,
    Great summer idyll.

  14. Summer at the pool,
    The Sun in Castile burns hot,
    But cool water helps.

    OK Since you mentioned spiders:

    Spencer like his mother often sings songs where he has the words completely WRONG and does not care. This makes Daddy crazy but anyway today was the best. He was trying to sing the "Itsy Bitsy Spider went down the water spout."

    Here is what he sang instead:

    "The Itchy Bitchy Spiderman went down the Chimney Sprout."

    She was a Mastiff.
