This is my favorite haiku ever from a junior high school friend who is now a pro poker player. I loved it at 12 and now still at 43 because he just doesn't give an f:

Winter is coming
Birds are dying

My favorite was this bit in a National Lampoon magazine's "Letters to the Editor" section. That was easily my favorite part of the entire magazine.

A December morn
The summer sailors shiver
A nip in the air

Now, see, if you lived here in the South US, I'd have no problem believing "check" could have two syllables! -- especially from a lady's southern accent. (The nieces, particularly the youngest, are very amusing along that line, as to how many syllables they'll stretch a word into.)

Irish accents, I wouldn't have guessed at "check" being multi-syllable!  :))
