Hi Mark,
Yes, I know it is a Limerick and not a Haiku. Bad "cut and paste" job. I had a number of Haiku and Limericks I was working on in MS Word and failed to see where I was cutting from when I posted this one. I have a book of about 120 or so Haiku which has all but gone to press here at MM and will, eventually, be available in the Book Store. I could edit the explanation and let people guess. Might be more fun to see how many say, "Huh?". Larry ······· ·······When power leads man toward arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations.
