Pretty randy. I like the way the action just takes off in the second line.

I'm still laughing, "think about it" hooked me. I'll be giggling all day over that one.

HAHAHAHHAHAH...me too! And I have a big meeting today, I just know woof woof woof will flash across my mind at some point and then I'll be laughing out loud for reasons no one else will know.

At least they're not writing limericks...

If you'd bought my book, you'd have seen I did the chicken haiku back in 2001. Ah, sadness. How to market... how to market...

Forgot to mention-- in Korea, the dog's bark is either "mung-mung!" or "wah-wah!"

mung mung mung mung mung!
wa wa wa wa wa wa wa!
mung mung wa wa mung!

Nuts-- that last line should be changed. The real poem is:

mung mung mung mung mung!
wa wa wa wa wa wa wa!
mung mung wa wa ...
...stew

Now it's Korean.

Kevin:

You are a sick person. Take your meds and call the doc for a checkup.

How many copies did you sell of that masterpiece?

i once ordered a dish at a Korean resaurant that listed one of its ingredients as "meat." Then someone at the table warned me that it might not be a good idea to order something called "meat" on the menu, if it didn't say what kind of meat. By then i didn't have the guts to change my order, so i ate it.

It tasted like chicken, btw.

Shelly,

How many copies? Not as many as Stephen King.

Sickness, by the way, is only in the mind.

Annika,

All hail Mystery Meat! If it tasted like chicken, it certainly wasn't dog. Dog meat is stringy, not very good-looking, and tastes nothing like chicken. It does, however, have its own yummy charm, though I didn't like the stew's broth very much. Next time I order dog, I'm getting the barbecued version.
