I am, as you may or may not know, The Haiku Master. In the interests of proving my chops, I want to issue the following self-challenge: I will write a haiku on ANY subject you SDMBers care to request. Come on - I dare you.

If you choose something esoteric, you may want to define it for the other people reading this thread.

Erotic pastime,  
Queasily fascinating.  
I’ve never been felched.

Why’d he choose a name

Thanks for making that a nice G-rated haiku - I was getting queasy thinking of all the possible ways it could have turned out. Bunnies don’t like to have their tummies upset, you know.

## I learned from the [redneck haiku](http://boards.straightdope.com/ubb/Forum4/HTML/005815.html) thread that Chef reigns supreme over all

That movie taught me some important lessons in life. 1. I can build a robot that loves me. 2. I can reanimate my dead girlfriend by jamming bits of metal and silicon into her skull. Both are lessons I use on a daily basis…

At first glance -it’s praise  
But could you be telling me  
To go and get lost?

I can’t keep this up! (no sexual innuendo, please)

A first effort. You choose where to put the comma(s), if any.

1:)  
Although they’re smaller,  
They resemble kangaroos.  
And what an odd name!

2:)  
The best thing about  
Saskatoon, Saskatchewan?  
Mega the Roo, of course!

3:)  
Bright quicksilver scales  
are replaced with crisp breading;  
crabmeat hides inside.
