This can be a thread where you can all post your Amazon Haikus. I know you've all been writing them - so here is where you can put them for all to see.
Here's one of mine...
amazon's crazy
changing prices testing site
losing customers

Chill out everyone
Give Amazon a whirl
We all make mistakes
=====
Considering all the B.S. I have gone through with the other online retailers, this is nothing. This is not like waiting 2-3 months for some other retailers to ship items, not like getting the wrong DVD wnd having to go through the hassle of returning it. Just make your order, if they honour it, great! If not, oh well .

Proper Haiku Format is this...
A poem that doesn't have to rhyme...
first line 5 syllables
second line 7 syllables
third line 5 syllables
This does not HAVE to be the case - in english it is a bit harder to get the syllables exactly than it is in chinese. You could have a 4, 7, 3 if you want...
It's all about understanding the chi.
the first two lines should be one statement
the last line should be related.
Just let the chi flow through you.
It doesn't have to be perfect.
