Not a new thought, but a good one. Not really a haiku either, but a good way to live.
Thanks, Dovina.
Your Friend, Doug
Haiku- 17 syllables, three lines, 5-7-5.
Even though "You can not kill a dead man and I am not a- fraid to die, Buddy" has the right syllable count, it doesn't stay true to form. I hate forms. But I like a good line to say when I'm drunk at a bar and some other poet is calling me out(to fight, not to dance). Come to think about it, it works for either happenstance.-5-
Wow! Being called out by a fellow poet to fight? How fellow can he be?
You can't kill dead man.
I am not afraid to die. Just don't muss my hair. Really not a Haiku, but I'll give you a 4 for effort.
but you can kill a dead man, as long as he's talking...yes i have an aversion to the caps button and i'm a uh three dot whore, it's got some kind of name within the whole grammar thing, but its late and stuff so...
The only way to "kill" a dead man is by sending him to Hell for an eternity of time!
