Hey, Smith. I think it's true, especially in a group. Helps reconnect the neurons. I haven't done any singing for five years, really miss it. Out here in the boonies, I'm stuck with listening to Sirius, Broadway channel. But I can blast it out and sing along without alerting the neighbors.

Well, the evidence is in, Oxy

Palindrome problem:
Reflection doubles image.
Odd becomes even.

Haiku is odd by nature.
Repeat the five or seven?

Hi moat!!

It is ambitious
to run a daunting gauntlet
lots get thrown by it.

In reply to A Theatrical Friday Afternoon at the Haikulodeon

The Friday after next is April 1st. I like to try a Haikulodeon Challenge. It's difficult, I don't know if I can do it, but I also think it might be fun, so I'm giving us almost two weeks notice to think it over. Here's what I'd like to try; On Friday, April Fools Day, I'd like to try doing a Palindromic heap of haikus. That is, every haiku must have at least one line be a palindrome. And every comment should follow the same rule. One line has to be a palindrome. Sound like fun? Sounds a little scary too, right? Well, that's why I'm giving everyone, including myself, advanced notice. Don't post your palindromic haikus until April 1st. Let's see if we're up to the challenge. God lives, evil dog!

Yes, Oscar Hammerstein was a proud Liberal, who started pushing that envelope in 1927 with Showboat, and twenty years later, when South Pacific opened on Broadway, he didn't mince words or make the meaning ambiguous, he laid it in their laps ... so to speak.
