Many, many thanks to the folks at Haiku Smackdown for an evening of great entertainment at yesterday’s Smackdown. I laughed, I cried… it was way better than “Cats” (yo!). Please do check it out, if you haven’t already.

Parental advisory warning: Some of the haikus are raunchy, and some are well beyond that. (You might need to skip a few, Dad.)

Let me tell you, it is impossible to wallow and ‘ku at the same time. Can’t be done. I went to bed with a crick in my neck and a happy heart.
