Haiku the Fourth
In a 3-2 squeaker (with a couple of "tie votes" thrown in), Wendy has won Round 3. So far everyone has held serve. Here comes a do-or-die attempt from the top of the key. (The mixing of metaphors is becoming something of a trademark here at "intentional walk".)Topic Four: The Funny Pages
Steve's entry:
The war in Iraq?
Buying grave sites? Dagwood quits???
Man, I miss Peanuts.
Wendy's entry:
The first snowfall brought
his Snowman House of Horror.
Wait 'till Dad gets home...

It'll be up by the end of the day; I really can't blog from work. :) And I needed to post something even more important when I finally logged on fairly last night.
How will we know who has finally won? I vote for some kind of freestyle haiku-off like rappers do. You could redo the scenes from Eminem's 8-Mile but with less swearing and real poetry.
To support my cause in the spirit of yesterday's competition my 8-Mile haiku
Lose you in music
To white to be lost in crowd
losing rapp a loss?
and for no good reason other than it is more fun than my conference call:
Papers not funny
And neither is Jim Carrey
Who makes us laugh now?
I must digest this a bit first...
OK, Steve, mine is up. Again, I had problems choosing, but I was finally able to pick the most brilliant of my offerings.
I'm sure I'm the most humble person on this blog.
What?? No "Get Fuzzy"? I'm still mad at the "Bee"...I have to go on-line to read it now. I must ponder this one...can't think as fast. I'm a year older, you know.
Greg, it's a best 3-out-of-5. So either Wendy will win or there will only be one more. Although I have a feeling that Wendy and I will converse in haiku for the rest of our natural days.
As for you, cupcake, I have to give props for being the first person to include a link in the poem. Nice.
Still waiting on actual votes.
I think some are bemoaning the distinct lack of "pith" in our little haiku-off, in contrast to most of your well-written posts. My blog is rarely pithy, but I did make my mom cry yesterday. That's got to count for something.
You are a worthy opponant, cupcake-san.
Steve, your efforts brought me great angst. It was like watching the Angels play the Giants…
Wendy scored points by using our family's favorite comic strip.
It's a draw.
