Ok, you don't win anything, but I thought it might be fun to make up some Haiku about Bin Laden, the Taliban, terrorists, or anything related.
Here's the rules:
3-short lines
no rhyme or metaphor
(17 syllables, 5-7-5)
I'll go first:
Bin Laden smiling
He hears a noise above
Pretty mushroom cloud
TOPICS: Miscellaneous; Political Humor/Cartoons
KEYWORDS:

Sorry, but your second line is one syllable shy, it's only 6.

noise is one syllable Not if you have a southern accent!
To: dirtboy
Not so easy, is it! We southerners draw out words. So noise is two syllables down here.
To: sirgawain
Bin Laden, Hitler
Soon will be Bunkmates in Hades
Bin is running scared.
To: dirtboy, all
Updated:
Bin Laden smiling
He hears a noise from above
Pretty mushroom cloud
To: sirgawain
Quiet starry night
Osama ponders his deeds
There he is - shoot him!
To: sirgawain
hiding in a cave
bravado of a coward
you sit in your tomb
To: ResistorSister
I thought the extra syllable would come from "He-errs".
