hahaha. I don't know what it is either!!! You picked a good form for it!!! I had this T Shirt once. It said something like: To be or to do da pa do do da. (something like that. It was a take on Frank Sinatra or something. Wish I could remember what it said!!!) I'm glad you liked Rush. I worked a while on that. But three times longer just to think of a topic!!

Your T-Shirt said: “To be is to do”—Socrates. “To do is to be”—Jean-Paul Sartre. “Do be do be do”—Frank Sinatra.

Andrea, no exaggeration it is the best modern Haiku I have ever read. I predict it will win first place although you never know but I can't under any scenario not making the top three. It inspired me to completely rewrite my entry. It isn't even close to yours but a lot better than what I had. I used a twist that my give it a little boost. I have a competitive nature but I also realize that I am a minnow in an ocean of whales. The contests produce some amazing poetry. It is in many ways the idea that carries the Soup.

It's apparent that the answer is to be not.

The teensy weensy spider is bemused in the web of the bards locks. It also looks as if a few pigeons have left their mark. Or has he just turned into a writers block?

"To pee or not to pee", the answer will wet more than your appetite.

It was Some Question Maurice...This I'm a little more familiar with as much as I don't understand this version of Poetry.I absolutely love The Shakespearean Concept of The Angels when I found it in A Book I read about Angels...Yup Old Shakespeare was In it..The thought is absolutely Fabulous because it truly was a loaded Question..By the way I rate with 7's every time due to effort and achievement...No worries.Beside it is very Healthy to Always ask the question Friend.thank You I enjoyed this.

It is like the "where's Waldo" book I am releasing. I don't actually put Waldo in the illustrations. It will drive people crazy and keep the real stupid ones amused for years.
