Have you have heard of SpamKu (Spam Haiku)?

How about some Visor/Handspring Haiku?

Here go's my first shot...

i need new gadget!
i'm getting act together
ahh, four to six weeks

That was lame...

blue visor deluxe
need it before Thanksgiving
send to land of cheese

even worse... hehe

i'm in database!
placed on priority, yes!
CSR loves me

4 weeks later...

what's a database?
i'm am now 'escalated' ?
Should've used a Palm

Done. These are kinda dumb, but, I am tired. These are in no way bashing Handspring, as I am still waiting, and it hasnt even been 3 weeks since my order. I love Handspring, and cannot wait to get my device. Feel free to leave a 'Haiku'. Remember, first line is 5 syllables, second line is 7, and third is 5. Give it a try..

...this could get fun...

I kinda like the last one, though you stick too many '?' in for a standard haiku. How about this:

Placed order through phone
Called three times to check on it
Look, my new Palm III

Traditional haiku contains references to the weather and/or seasons.

'Twas sunny and warm
When I ordered my Visor
Now, it is snowing

-or-

Behold, the snow falls
Where once there was bright sunshine
Still, no green Visor

:-)

I have waited far too long.

HandSpring falls on butt
Winter of our discontent
Summer quite teed off


(This is not a negative post. I love my BVD.)

Ordered in the fall.
Will the snow still be falling
when my Visor comes?

Here's my attempt

No Visors. Lost sales.
Value America wins.
Rain falls. Donna cries.

Value America
No more super rebating
slow as heck web site

Those who hate Handspring
who have nothing good to say
You are obnoxious

Oh thy great springboard
plug and plays, a smart idea
waits for card to fit

To the detractors
One day things will be ok
find new flame target

USB cradle
no drivers for win2k
installed win nine-eight

visor still turned on
plug visor into cradle
doh! system resets

As you might have guessed, my (blue) visor deluxe came today. It was a little rough to get working (USB cradles don't work in Windows 2000, and it seems if the visor is on it reboots my system when I plug it into the cradle sometimes) but all in all I have to say it's pretty cool. Have patience, it's worth the wait.

Is it worth the wait?
For future generations
The answer they know

Aua, I'm not good at this.

I have no Visor
Sadness is ruling my live
Happieness is gone

If any HS guy is reading this they will think that you guys don't deserve a Visor anyway.
