It's been a while since we've had some good haikus.  In fact, I think the last contest was on the old email list.  So, here we go!  Haikus most be standalone.  Must be fish themed.  Only one entry per post, but multiple posts are OK.  Winner will be by popular acclaim (i.e. poll).  Winner will receive some prize which will either be 1) something I have cajoled Casper into donating, or 2) fish sculpture to be donated by the artist, or 3) some of my back issues of A/C because those cheap SOB's don't want to donate anything.  SO, let the fun begin!

 

P.S.: If it's a really good haiku, maybe the forum gods will turn it into a sticky and you will be immortalized!  OR maybe they'll put you on moderation for a while.  Who knows?

Thanks, Matt, but I'm guilty of an extra syllable. The new version:
