This has got to be the WORST haiku I've EVER seen in my ENTIRE LIFETIME on this planet. Don't EVER post something this bad again!
(Okay, not really. I just wanted to see if I could stir up some controversy on Magnapoets. How'd I do?)

You better stick to using emoticons, Aurora. I think MagnaPuppets needs its very own in-house expert on bad tangerine-ku. Anyone come to mind?
Like Bambi's Mother, Mama G. always said "If you can't say something nice, don't say anything." That's why I block her access to my f/k/a weblog.

Regarding bad tangerine-ku, please see my comment to Andrea regarding my own.
And no to emoticons. You complained soooo much about them, I'm afraid I can never use one in conversation with you again. I've been scarred for life.

Scarred for life, Aurora?
Ah, life is not a bed of roses.
Congratulations, David!
Your picture is vivid.

Well Yu, of course I'm joking, but since David doesn't like emoticons, I'm prohibited from using one of these " :) " to let you know. :) (Whoops, sorry David, I slipped. I promise it will never happen again.)
Posted by: Aurora Antonovic | May 09, 2007 at 12:33 AM
Thanks, Aurora. I think I got it.
The proper way to talk to David: Use ":(" to start a sentence,
and use ":)" to end it. Do I get an A?
Posted by: Yu Chang | May 09, 2007 at 10:00 AM
Now I'm really confused. Definitely an A for Agita, Yu.
Aurora, since you're my expert: When using emoticons, does a double-negative cancel itself out? Do people who use emoticons care about double-negatives?
I'm going to have to go back and memorize my Dave Barry Emoticon list.

Well, I would like to know if David has chastised anyone else for the use of emoticons, or if I'm the only one who gets picked on. (no emoticons inserted since David insists he doesn't need them)
