I used to live there, if you recall -- and yes, it was considered the sticks until they built on the west side of the freeway back in the late 80s-early 90s. Fab 40s? I coulda swore you said you were sometihing like 19? Oh, well. I can't count on my pea-sized brain to keep everything straight.

It's a writing that has five syllables in the first line, seven in the second line, and five in the third line. It doesn't have to actually ryhme, but is considered poetry as far as I recall. Go back and look at the other haikus and sound out the syllables and you'll get the idea.

Juan . . . when you said you can dish out and especially take a good ribbing around here, I hope you were serious -- because that's exactly what you'll get!

We did have poems for Juan, but that was the appropriately lower form of poetry, the limerick.

Here we choose the subtle, beautiful Japanese Haiku.

Anyway, welcome to the G-R forum, Juan.

No poems for Mexico here.....although when i used to play golf, I often experienced many Mexican putts. You know, the ones that need just one more revolution.....
