Somewhere over the rainbow!!!! 
I love that joke. But it loses something in the translation. It's really better out loud. You sing the punchline.

Since noone wants to try my last topic, CALENDER, I'll try it:
Calendered paper
Is the best paper to make
Calendars out of
See how clever that would have been if it had more closely followed Calendars.
And now, Peter Pan
He flies on a wire
He hangs high above the stage
Wait, that's a woman

Oops. Same time next year?
Next: electricity.

MarkTheMeS (PackRat & Keeper of All Things, period) Posted Jan 2, 2001
Ormondroyd, ACE - Your "Running with Scissors" haiku was better than the one I was just trying to write. I'm glad you managed to post first.
And now, New Years Resolutions
Let it be resolved
In the New Year I will not...
Who am I kidding

Aw, Mark, I DID do a calendar one, honest. Post 167! But it was on top of a bunch of other Haiku, so maybe it was hard to see.
Llama has two Ls
But you only pronounce one
Which one? I wonder.
Next: barnacle geese

Hello. Wonderful thread. I'm not going near barnacle geese with a 60ft barge pole. Do you mind if I wait for the next topic?

Of course you can, Tweetie (I must admit to being too scared to try my own topic too 
). Welcome! Welcome! And would you like a link from the Haiku Challenge page when you've written a Haiku?
(...this invitation is also open to anyone else who hasn't told me they want a link yet).

Haiku challenge!
FG Posted Jan 3, 2001
Saw the new topic,
The dictionary's at home,
Confusion afoot.
Hope I see a better one coming, as I know not what "barnacle geese" might be. Other than the latest teen pop group.
But if anyone's scared of the b.g. try:
nuclear espionage
