Well said! When it's closed it's closed... especially if you've nailed that figurative sucker shut. ;) Nice one DillyD!

Thank you so much! It was a bold leap from 50s tune to senryu but it so worked when it came together :) I appreciate your enthusiasm

That was cool how you chose a rock and roll standard and produced a haiku from its message!

I love Fats Domino, Big Bopper etc. never associated them with a haiku before. Got my two lines and stared at it a good while then the last line felt obvious. Not sure if it'll hit right for the contest, but thought I'd give it a shot.

No means no, it's over! A classic song and good choice of music, Dilly. Together making for a very clever contender!
