“are best Animal Style” has seven syllables, the way I say it - still a haiku no-no.

At the rodeo  
I saw bulls, clowns, and cowboys  
who knows which is which?

Get over yourselves. 6 ‘sylablles’ (sic) is not a haiku ‘no-no’ It’s absolutely allowed. We’re ignoring all the other constraints/stylistic requirements of haiku, FFS. Why aren’t you purists going after those? :rolleyes:

I get so confused  
Is that Glenn Beck? Or Wilbur?  
The smell is the same
