Starbucks 'Trenta': How The New Size Compares To Your Stomach
Famous Death Row Last Meals
Back
in middle school, I think one of the first poems I ever wrote was a rhyming little ditty about Spam. Lucky for you, I
have no idea where that little gem went. What I do know is that The
Spam-Ku Archive has nearly 20,000 haiku (and other assorted verse, and a book) dedicated to that most beloved meaty
little block.Some are poignant:
Empathize with them
Cut your finger on SPAM top
Pigs must feel that too
Others are just plain weird:
Freezing midwinter
The warmest thing you can wear?
Jacket made of SPAM
My pending entry:
Hurricane supplies
The loneliest can of all
Eat some more tuna.

Only that is haiku.
