The exercise: Write two haiku about: the virus. Everybody in the house is sick with colds at the moment. We had a good run through January and February. It was bound to end eventually...

@DragonflyOracle: I think I prefer your second haiku today, though it's a close contest. The ease of transmission of a transmission is nicely captured.
@Marc: I'm pretty sure that zero lines of zero syllables isn't a haiku :-P

funny tale it tells
