I'm sorry, but your entry must be in the form of a haiku, and
must be about Bill Bixby's death. Here's an example:
Bill Bixby is dead.
My name is Melvin Gladstone.
I am a moron.

He used to be green.
Today, Bill's whiter than chalk.
What will Lou do now?

Weasels rip my flesh
The ship arrives too late to
Save the drowning witch
You know, I think "Weasels rip my flesh" has potential as a canonical haiku
beginning.

Yeah, maybe. God knows "Cherry blossoms fall" and "Moonlight on bare trees"
are getting old. Let's try it:
Weasels rip my flesh
Nameless star-spawn shambles near
Doctor Rabbit posts.
Hmmmm. Intriguing.

Worth a try. Let's see...
Moonlight on bare trees
Chevyn's head decorates pike,
Top of the world, ma!
Yeah. I like it.

Yeah, except for the fact that it has six syllables. Count
very carefully, young mungboy.
When I saw you following this up, I figured the post
would go like this:
Weasels rip my flesh
Penis penis penis (mine)
Ha ha ha ha ha
...or something similarly scintillating.

Weasels rip my flesh;
Shut up and play yer guitar.
No more new ones -- sob!

True, but I also favor "Glowing anvils fall."
Glowing anvils fall;
Peaceful cherry blossoms are
Totally passe'.
