Well, there’s been plenty of time to enter the last haiku/limerick contest so it’s time to vote. Here are my favorite.
1) Dwight tried to initiate Ryan
And we know just how hard he was tryin’
But “planting his seed”
That’s more than we need
I just hope to god he was lyin’.
2)This episode, it sure was dandy.
Michael ate pretzels and candy
Pam kept his log
(will it go on her blog?)
And the squeaky chair ended on Andy.
3)The temp was tested by A.R.M.
He did well until threatened by harm
Then he was like, ‘Dwight!
I’m not going to fight!
Plus you have a really weird farm.’
PS DwightK, you rock with these limericks. It was a good start for everyone. I think I’ll start next week’s nearer to the episode airing so that it’s still fresh in our minds.

I think it should be reverted back to haiku only. I think haikus are much harder to write. Or split the contests.
J, thanks for your opinion. I think the limericks are fun to read, but I wonder if it’s too much with two different types.
Anyone else have an opinion either way?
I agree about splitting them. There are a lot more syllables with which to be clever in a limerick, so it doesn’t make sense for haikus to compete against them.
I love the limericks, but I’m not clever enough to write them. I vote for splitting them.
Maybe they should be split, but I disagree that limericks are easy to write. They usually have a certain rhythm to them, and it’s easy to pick out a good limerick from the rest. I think only DwightK had the knack for them this time. Most of the rest seemed off this time.
Limericks are fun. If we split the two, let’s not drop the limericks.
