    I was quite surprised!
    Dr. Boli strikes again!

    “There was a young man from Nantucket” was in fact a haiku before being translated into English. Little-known fact.

    For those of us who can remember when Koo Stark was the girlfriend of Prince Andrew:

    If Andrew said,
          “Hi, Koo!”
    would that qualify as a two-syllable hai,ku?

    Seems to me it would but I don’t sense broad agreement . . .
