Hello AG Peeps:

Here's an idea for the next contest for the talented people on AG. Next time you are going to give away a detailing product(s), make the contest "who can write the best Haiku.? It has to be specific to the product you are promoting

As you may know a Haiku is a Japanese Poem with 5 lines. Here is an example:

There was an Old Man with a beard,
Who said, 'It is just as I feared!
Two Owls and a Hen,
Four Larks and a Wren,
Have all built their nests in my beard!'
​

You have a lot of talented minds here on AG, it would be fun to see their creative side. BTW, you could even pick the top 5 and WE would all vote.

Any others interested?
Thanks for your consideration!​
 
Funny. :xyxthumbs:

Good idea, but I think this is a limerick, not a Haiku. IIRC, a Haiku is made up of 3 phrases that have 5 syllables in the first phrase, then 7 syllables in the next, and 5 syllables in the last phrase.
 
I believe that may be a limerick.

The definition of Haiku is a little more complex than that, I think.

Something about syllables and seasons.

Dear Mr. Bacon:

For Mercy's sake; and, to stem the flow of negativity from the self-appointed etymologists...

Please change the comparative!!!

:D

Bob

PS: "G R E A T" idea, though. :props:

You guys are good, your absolutely right, its a lymrick....But I still think it would make for a fun contest.


Anyway's, I guess this would be a limerick and not a hakiu

AG Forum has taught me a lot


some of it good and some of it not​

BOGO's make me spend cash​

A paycheck gone in a flash​

but now I got a nice stash!

:laughing:​

There you go! Thanks for your Limerick...It seems to contain many "truths"...
A pleasant change from the usual bawdiness that's often associated with limericks.


"There once was a fellow named Bacon
Whose 'sarcasm' was well known to everyone.
This will have some folks blood starting to boil,
And finding ways to his demise they will foil.
But I've always found he's a friend to rely on".


:D

Thanks Bob, anyone can like White Zinfandel, its takes an individual with depth to appreciate the complexities of Cognac. And I find sarcasm, much as I do imitation, one of the greatest forms or flattery~


And BobbyG, I think your neck of the woods started the first Limerick, didn't it start with:

There once was a girl from Nantucket...

I learned all my poetry from Andrew Dice Clay! I don't think that would do me too much good here. :D

Ahhhh, the good ole Andrew Dice Clay. I believe he was the only comedian in history to sell out Madison Square Garden two nights in a row. He is also a good example of fleeting fame. But how can you forget the start to his limerick:

Hickory Dickory Dock...
​
To bad Finishing the limerick=permanent ban!​

O.k., am not that clever but what they heck...


There once was a man with a buffer,

on a cold dreary day he did suffer.

Too bleak and too cold to detail

the hours inched by as a snail.

Said he "could Sundays get any rougher?





p.s. thanks for the nudge

Hey. that was really good !..its fun in a weird and odd way! Its a good test of the mind.

On a different note..you are a Vegas Transplant? I get out there a few times a year. Any idea's for a great steakhouse? I've been to most of the ones on the Strip...any local hot spots or others you would recommend?

thanks!
 
Not in Vegas anymore. Have been in Bowie MD nearly 6 months now (takes me roughly 30 min.to get to the National Mall w/o traffic)


. If you like old Vegas then the former Horseshoe use to have great $80 steaks. But things have changes drastically for Binion's.

The Station Casino in Henderson has a Great restaurant that has a steak to die for. But then again, so does about 1000 other places in LV

The best place that I recommend is off the strip near the Summerlin Casino- a natural waterfall in the middle of the desert, not even 10 miles as the crow flies from the heart of the strip. Spent a lot of time in the desert and at Lake Mead.
Great multi- star joints on the strip but most locals try to get away from the tourists as much as possible.
 
Thanks for the off the strip idea...i'll check it out.

BTW..where has my Good Buddy Nemesis (Flash) been ?...he's got to have a limerick or 2 ! Otherwise the political politeness and :kiss:in the AG forum is gonna drive me nuts !
 
I'll try one more...

There once was a hand using Meguiars

who yearned for something much higher.

On the net he searched hi and lo

for a product line which would glow,

Now Optimum is his hearts desire.

You got mad limerick skills...I think the guy from Optimum might be sending you a nice gift!

Well it goes a little something like this...I don't want to find anything constructve to do. I've been staring at this screen for better than 12 hours. But then again I use to stare out a pair of dual windshields from Queen City, Tarheel all the way to Shakey(LA) but those days are long gone.
