And, in the wake of Dick Cheney's surgery, I offer this haiku which I first found on the web (try Spam haiku archive) when I was in college:
Old man seeks doctor.
"I eat SPAM daily", he says.
Angioplasty.
Two others I like:
Pink tender morsel,
Glistening with salty gel.
What the hell is it?
Highly unnatural,
The tortured shape of this "food".
A small pink coffin.
