Re: A few not so exact Haiku...

["Earl J. Moniz" <earlj.moniz@MCI2000.COM>]

Hello everyone...

After reading the haiku contribution, I was distracted enough

to compose a few of my own ... please excuse me if they do

not fit the pattern exactly. . .

All of my own doing, so use them as you like...

see my signature block...

A few library ones at the end only we could appreciate...
