Celebrate the Return of the NFL Season With a Haiku

PrintHaiku is my favorite style of writing. When done correctly, Haiku can be funny, thought provoking, and creative. For those who don't know, Haiku is a Japanese style of poem that doesn't have to rhyme. A Haiku consists of three lines with five syllables in the first line, seven syllables in the second line, and five syllables in the third line.
Example:
Football is back, yeah
The lockout looming, yikes
Enjoy the season
I know that sucked. It was just an example. Use this post to create your own 49ers/NFL Haiku. Here's a couple I came up with.
The 49ers are back
VD and Crabs are awesome
Frank Gore eats Seahawks
The Warden Goodell
is on the lookout fellas
Stay out of trouble
Obviously I'm terrible at Haiku. See if you can do better? Here's a thesaurus, you might need it.

Heh, just playing about banning, just sounded funny in a crappy Haiku.
