Five seven five just cannot do, when you're brain's filled with dark amber brew... To few words to manage... My recent brain damage urges limericks instead on the Blue. MeFolk, join the Haiku revolt! Don't leave me hangin' like a dolt. The meter is easy, The topics are sleazy, Once started, you're off like a colt!
