The point of this thread is to write Haiku about the Mac.  “What’s Haiku?” you ask?  WHAT IN THE HELL WERE YOU DOING IN ENGLISH CLASS?  Haiku is a traditional poetry form in Japan that follows the following pattern:  Three lines, with the first line having 5 sylllables, the second having 7 syllables, and the third having 5 syllables.  There are other variations of Haiku, but they ARE NOT ALLOWED!  WHY?  BECAUSE I SAID SO AND I AM PURE EVIL!®

You can write about anything as long as it is Mac themed.  With that, I offer my first bit of Mac Haiku:

Oh pretty iMac
Your sex appeal is stunning.
Gimmie gimmie NOW!

Next?

iBook on my desk
Cables go all directions
Portable? Not now.
