Review of “Bama Profiles in Courage: Laykin”: (Capers) Barr flexes through an emotional range that most writers would never dare attempt … Humor and Bama sorrow are fused together like twined tree trunks that keep each other standing…..It’s part satire, part character study, with a wry lens on fame, fandom, and the modern South. Well done, Capers, well done.”– Ian Allen, The Times Literary Supplement.

I had forgotten about this Haiku that Rocky Top Talk runs during game week. Here is the link [Haiku]

I entered 5 beauties. I kept my entries pretty clean, “within community guidelines”, I may enter more. My 5 haikus:

by “ball” you mean “bawl”
coupled with cry, redundant
read your Herban & Meyer

SAT 8-9-0
With a home-school diploma
Testing bound’ries, ass

Dopers and brawlers
Thieves and shootists
Geightors and cheats

Widen your redneck
You need some Jorts
Flock towards Gunsville

what a total Geightor
arrogant pompous douchebag
you don’t impress me
