I should have stated that my intention was for responses in the form
of addition fauxku (as well as smart-ass [or any other] remarks).
That works best in a single thread as sometimes the f-u (fauxku) isn't
self-contained but riffs on a previous one.
"...the 575 format isn't necessary..."
In English, the 575 format usually produces inferior haiku, same for fauxku.
(IMHO, of course.)
"the title of this one works well also."
Titling fauxku is optional, but is usually the exception (as are most
other things in fauxku). Also note that the definition of fauxku (as the
name doesn't imply) does not preclude entities that appear, on the
surface (or below with the frogs and fishies) to be (or are actually) haiku.
(The title in this case is for the thread as well.)
P.S. LOVE those crunchy tires!
