well not yet
but maybe soon
I learned a new word today
Not a new word but a new usage for a word
Tagging
How many poems have I tagged on studio eight
A lot
oh well
Too old to be embarassed anymore
so to continue
Haiku
seems safe enough.
aha moment
baseball bat
gongs my skull
anger
draws violence
karmic justice

no wind
sails slack
dead in the water.
I was sitting here despairing of ever writing a true haiku and I thought to myself
"How many monkeys does it take to write a haiku?"
I don't know why I do it but I google myself a lot, I mean if I think of something that sounds fresh and original I wonder if someone has said that before.
What I found on google was this:
How Many Monkeys Does it Take to Write the Bible?
I’ll give you the answer up front: an infinite number of them.
The chances are 100% that ONE of an infinite number of monkeys will write the Bible, along with another monkey that will write
My Pet Goat, another penning
The Origin of Species and yet another scrawling
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.
Also, how many of you would attribute some special qualities to that monkey, that somehow, it possesses some amazing skill the others do not? Is it a better monkey? How many of you think that that SAME monkey that wrote the Bible would turn around and write the Koran? Would you bet a million dollars on it?

Which led me to this:
An infinite number of monkeys...
"We've all heard that a million monkeys banging on a million typewriters will eventually reproduce the entire works of Shakespeare. Now, thanks to the Internet, we know this is not true." --Prof. Robert Silensky
