For some strange reason, I had a request at the end of last week to answer a question in the form of a haiku. Then, this began to interest me, so I've written some haiku about the game yesterday. I'll give you a little sampling of it now, and you can check out the rest after the jump
Warm day with the sun
Fans in blue and orange garb
Football has come back
Field re-sod and new
Detroit is scared and shy
Fifty-four destroys
Need to punt the ball
Mannelly snaps to Maynard
Coffin Corner Kicks
Lions back to pass
Backus becomes a turnstile
Pep ends Stafford game
Deep in Lions den
Briggs runs fast through the linemen
Fumble at the one
Ball is on the turf
Tommie grabs and stumbles over
Next time just fall down
First play for Olsen
Catches then fumbles the ball
Hands made of charmin
Bears Territory
Screen to Forte out of play?
Inconclusive View
Last down and goal line
Wall of Lions proud and tall
Kick the effing ball
End of game prevent
The Megatron makes the catch
No, wait, just kidding
Dallas game next week
Their O-line made of swiss cheese
Kev predicts five sacks
What do you think? What's some ancient japanese poetry among fans?
