    A common saying at my 8th grader's school is:

    haikus are easy
    but sometimes they don't make sense
    refrigerator

    So I read them this one,'cause I thought they (13 and 16) would get a kick out of it! They did.

    Rolling in the clover is one thing...but hiding in the clover, you'd better LOOK OUT! Good Aha in line 3! Write on Brother Bear.
