Bill E. Payne: Blog

I sometimes do business with a NC company named Queensboro. They sell embroidered and digitally printed apparel. Each Christmas season, they have a Haiku contest. The rules are:

1. Only one entry per customer
2. A haiku is 3 lines, with 5,7 and 5 syllables per line, in that order. Ex; one two three four five / six seven eight nine ten twelve / forget eleven
3. Winner gets a $75 gift certificate

So, I entered. I received an e-mail about the voting process and followed the link to vote. Perusing the entries I found this: From Andy Anderson of Department of Justice
It's beginning to look a lot like "Queensboro"  (12 syllables, 8 words)
All I want for Christmas is my two "Beanie Hats."  (12 syllables, 10 words)
I saw Mommy kissing her "Polar Fleece"  (10 syllables, 7 words)

I'm telling you, it is scary that we have idiots in the department of justice. Not surprising - just scary. And to think my Mom wanted me to get a government job!

Anyway, if any of you readers are Queensboro customers, you're eligible to vote, too. Needless to say, I hope you'll vote for me, but vote your heart! The link is: http://www.queensboro.com/web/exec/haiku_entries.php

You have to be signed in to vote.

Thanks for reading!

Yours in tune,
