Chaining Haiku
posted Friday, August 22, 2003 - 05:41 AM (#8436)
I've just thought of a new game. It's called "Chaining Haiku", where the first stanza/line/phrase of a haiku must refer to the last stanza/line/phrase of the preceding haiku. Permit me to start.

Counting sheep is fun
While typing away at work
