It's Time for the Late-Nite Haiku Primary Throw-down
Welcome both Obama and Clinton supporters. It's time to put up your best Democratic Primary Haiku Material.

I'll start us off with a PrObama Special:

Obama Is He
Who Wins The Nomination.
Clinton Has No Chance.

Here are the rules:

Please. Only respond
With Haiku. No Other Rules
Are Necessary.

1. Haiku are fun!
John McCain is old.
We will beat him in the fall.
His feet smell like death.

7. Definiton of a haiku:
but don't read this, because it will only confuse you.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haiku

This works better:

a major form of Japanese verse, written in 17 syllables divided into 3 lines of 5, 7, and 5 syllables, and employing highly evocative allusions and comparisons, often on the subject of nature or one of the seasons. (ME: or not:evilgrin:)
