A haiku lesson for Shadow et al

[My Shadow]

4 - haikus do not use capital letters unless it's a month which is sort of okay but can be frowned upon.

This must be a recent rule, as in Japanese writing, there are no capitals AFAIK.
Probably made up especially for foreigners, writing in other languages.

There once was a man from Uranus
Who got a lamp stuck up his anus
He tried and he tried
But it could not be plied
Still, the light of his smile
Made him famous

Good - bad - what does it
Mean anyway, is it not
Like the moon itself ?

A visitor who posts!!!!! My Shadow.....you are the greatest. Most folk here are hanging low unitl all the probing by visitors dies down. Actually it has (but is still very busy). If you have been out of the loop - the U.S. House Of Representatives pulled up our Iraq photos the Friday afternoon before last Friday (when Rumsfeld was being grilled). That was big news for us! Many more "interesting" ips cropped up almost daily but things are slowly returning to normal.....

Thanks, but I wouldn't know how to know when the "probing by visitors" has died down...

Pulled up those Iraq photos ? I suppose they wanted to know if nothing top-secret was to be seen on them or something, but as we know well enough, "top secret isn't exactly the best way of describing those pictures...

Now that it's safe .. if it ever is really safe .. I'd like to laud the courageous Shadow for posting because only he/she knows what evil lurks in the hearts of women/men.

Why do you think that, Penelope ?

Well .. I did have a choice between two thoughts and the 'evil lurking in the hearts' was preferable to 'a little shadow that goes in and out with me'.

If all our choices depended on trivialities such as these, existence would be unbearably light.
Maurice hasn't posted for several days now. What's happening ?
