A few more haikus came
A few more haikus came in this evening. David gives us this quixotic offering:
Dogs and kitty cats
They're in every song I know
Kitty cats and dogs
Well said, Dave. Meanwhile James took a page out of the Full Professor's playbook and contributed a programming poem:
I will not say a
word about Iteration.
I will not say a
Ah, those clever CS majors. And finally, the other Amy wins the prize for nerdiest haiku, but at least she didn't think of it herself. Here's the scoop:
Several semesters ago, I was sitting in ee250 lecture. Mid-lecture, the professor happened to say:
C dv/dt?
Is that the magic poem?
C dv/dt.
"Did he really just say that??" I thought. And then, quickly counting on my fingers, "Hey! That was a haiku!"
True story.
Once again, however, this one isn't really a haiku unless you pronounce the last word of the second line as "po-em" rather than its traditional backwoods-America pronunciation of "pome". Better luck next time, ee250 professor. update: Amy has confirmed that the professor indeed pronounced it as "po-em". She also points out that it was an unintentional haiku on the prof's part, so Amy does indeed get credit for the nerdiest haiku. Way to go other Amy!
