Haiku Train

Start your haiku with the last line of this one, try to make it relate somehow. Then the next person will do the same to yours. And so on. And so on. For as long as we feel like it. Try to keep the 5-7-5 syllable rule, but we'll be generous if it just doesn't fit.

I know it's lame, and I suck at haikus, but please play along.

vegetarian:
a word to remind us that
ground beef's bad for us

Ground beef's bad for us.
I would eat chicken, but I
fear the bird flu too.


ps. This is a great addition. I'll be posting here from now on.

ground beef's bad for us
eating sky beef's even worse
fish's flesh is best.

right into the glass.

He left us alone and now
he's riding caboose.

the wit and the drive

Taxes should be done
in February before
rabid April's rush.

Fish food, tetra type
for fantail goldfish, twice a
day makes a haiku.

Am I a dragon
or a Griffin? I'm not sure:
mythic dilemma.
