"Tiny woodpile hunt / A baby snake enjaw-ed / Grandma just says no." That's a haiku invoking the red-in-tooth-and-claw drama outside in the yard this evening, where Tiny caught a snakelet and was quickly dispawed of it by ourselves, each of us following our own imperative.
A haiku ["three unrhymed lines of five, seven, and five syllables"] on MSM coverage of President Obama's mythic first "100 Days":
The rest of us await the Second Coming of the new Boston Tea Party on July 4th, 2009, two if by sea. There's a plan afoot for tea partiers to "set sail" from Portsmouth, NH that morning and meet up, regatta style, at Boston Harbor late afternoon.
Update: One more Haiku for the road:
Thank God it's Friday,
'Cause critters now boarding Steve's
Ark 241.
Two-by-two if by sea?
The sail for freedom.

Okay, setting my sights on July 4th although I have no sailboat so I'll have to sail in via automobile. ;-)
I love that pic of Tiny... it's the eyes!

I've never been able to do Haiku, but tooth and claw drama is not beyond my ken.
I agree with Teresa; Tiny's eyes are marvelous.

Tooth and claw drama abounds at Sis Linda's house where the very high toned bluepoint Siamese has turned into "Lo the mighty hunter" and is catching platoons of tiny field mice and bringing them to her Mommy for a present! The pit bull and the corgi just watch in amazement! They want nothing to do with this nonsense.
