Impressive haiku. The structure is very nice. Almost unnoticed.

That's intentional. I like to confuse people. Was I successful? :-)

Yes, I think you were. But this could get boring soon. We may need to stop.

Took you a while there. Couldn't think of a haiku? It's not hard, y'know. :-)

My father came in. He had some Web site changes. I had to do them.
("Took you a while there" is six syllables. 
Message Received - Wednesday, January 3, 2001 at 12:51 AM
Ah, I understand. But your count is a bit off. Let me demonstrate:
1.) Took
2.) you
3.) a
4.) while
5.) there.

But, "while" is two. At least, it is to my ears. I am the linguist.

You're an amateur. The dictionary says one. I'm going w/ it. :-)

Well, I suppose so. How would Japan resolve this? We should ask someone.

Such as whom, pray tell? The ghost of Hirohito? He might be busy...

That won't be needed. There must be a haiku code. Try searching the Web.
Message Received - Wednesday, January 3, 2001 at 1:02 AM
"Haiku code", you say? What might that be, I wonder? ROT-13? *L*
Message Sent - Wednesday, January 3, 2001 at 1:03 AM
Haiku laws, I mean. The standards for writing them. I'm sure they exist.
Message Received - Wednesday, January 3, 2001 at 1:04 AM
Perhaps that is so. But that would take the fun out. That's not a good thing. :-)
Message Sent - Wednesday, January 3, 2001 at 1:07 AM
But it would help us. Otherwise we will argue. Also, tournaments?
Message Received - Wednesday, January 3, 2001 at 1:08 AM
We needn't argue. Haiku writing tournaments? That's too organized.
Message Sent - Wednesday, January 3, 2001 at 1:09 AM
What is wrong with that? I like organisation. It helps make things work.
Message Received - Wednesday, January 3, 2001 at 1:11 AM
Things don't need to work. This can just be silliness. That wouldn't be new.
Message Sent - Wednesday, January 3, 2001 at 1:11 AM
What are you saying? This is far from silliness. It is a high art!
Message Received - Wednesday, January 3, 2001 at 1:13 AM
Not as we do it. Besides, who needs artistry? Simon we are not. *L*

Sol is an artist? Of writing, but not haikus. Then again, we'll see.
Message Received - Wednesday, January 3, 2001 at 1:16 AM
He can write haiku. How could he possibly not? It is so easy.
Message Sent - Wednesday, January 3, 2001 at 1:17 AM
Yes, but as an art? Some are good, others are bad. We strive for the good.
Message Received - Wednesday, January 3, 2001 at 1:19 AM
I strive for the bad. It's much easier that way. "Art, schmart" is my thought. :-)
Message Sent - Wednesday, January 3, 2001 at 1:20 AM
But yours are not bad. Not as good as mine, but still. These are all good work.
Message Received - Wednesday, January 3, 2001 at 1:22 AM
I tire of this. Shall we move along right now? Haiku bores me now.
Message Sent - Wednesday, January 3, 2001 at 1:23 AM
Aha...there, tire. Not one syllable, but two? Where is the logic?
Message Received - Wednesday, January 3, 2001 at 1:25 AM
"Fuck it" I say now. This ends immediately. I won't finish this.
Oh, hell, I guess I did. *L*
