Willamette Week Online | Music | HAIKU AND A | COME HELL AND HAIKU

Some guy from a band called the Mountain Goats has a good haiku/quote/answer when asked to describe what something stands for in one of his songs:

Willamette Week :

"Q. Preparing yourself
for an ominous ending
What is the magpie?

A. Only a traitor
undresses his metaphors
As if they were whores"
