orang37 Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 "What," you may, indeed, ask: "are the prizes to be won by entering this contest ?" First, let me assure you that everyone who enters is a "winner" ... unless they are a "loser" ... even though we cannot, yet, define those categories, or, state they are other than virtual. But, I swear by this mind-soul's co-inhabitor, Orang37, that spiritual benefits will accrue in abundance. As the immortal Kabir said: "where there is a garden the flowers will come (rahi gulzar to phool khilenge)." ~ Rules: each entry 0. related somehow to Chiang Mai 1. three lines, total of 17 syllables, one line of seven syllables and two lines of five syllables in any order 2.

Call Mr. "True Man" Don't know why it stopped working. No, but the DVD player shown under the box is history after Mr. Bitey and his sister got into a battle over ownership of the Truevisions box and the DVD player ended up on the floor, with the Truevision box dangling in the air. I'll work on a haiku about this infamous battle. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
