    "G R E A T" Idea for next contest

    Hello AG Peeps:

    Here's an idea for the next contest for the talented people on AG. Next time you are going to give away a detailing product(s), make the contest "who can write the best Haiku.? It has to be specific to the product you are promoting

    As you may know a Haiku is a Japanese Poem with 5 lines. Here is an example:

    There was an Old Man with a beard,
    Who said, 'It is just as I feared!
    Two Owls and a Hen,
    Four Larks and a Wren,
    Have all built their nests in my beard!'

    You have a lot of talented minds here on AG, it would be fun to see their creative side. BTW, you could even pick the top 5 and WE would all vote.

    Any others interested?
    Thanks for your consideration!

    Good idea, but I think this is a limerick, not a Haiku. IIRC, a Haiku is made up of 3 phrases that have 5 syllables in the first phrase, then 7 syllables in the next, and 5 syllables in the last phrase.

    I believe that may be a limerick.

    The definition of Haiku is a little more complex than that, I think.

    Something about syllables and seasons.

    Dear Mr. Bacon:

    For Mercy's sake
    ; and, to stem the flow of negativity from the self-appointed etymologists...

    Please change the comparative!!!

    PS: "G R E A T" idea, though.

    You guys are good, your absolutely right, its a lymrick....But I still think it would make for a fun contest.


    Anyway's, I guess this would be a limerick and not a hakiu

    AG Forum has taught me a lot


    some of it good and some of it not

    BOGO's make me spend cash

    A paycheck gone in a flash

    but now I got a nice stash!

    There you go! Thanks for your Limerick...It seems to contain many "truths"...
    A pleasant change from the usual bawdiness that's often associated with limericks.
