So I'm checking referrers again today and I see one that's almost as good as "The Tossed Salad Man." I'm number 2 on Yahoo! for tossed salad poem.

Somebody's out there looking for tossed salad poetry. And they can't find it. I repeated that person's search and came back empty handed. I found tossed salads and I found poetry, but I found no tossed salad poetry. And that's just sad. You're supposed to be able to find anything on the internet. Seriously, one time I found topless photos of Olympia Dukakis (my therapist and I are still working through that one.)

But no tossed salad poetry? We need to fix that. So I'm calling a contest. I invite anyone to submit a haiku about tossing salads. I'll be the only judge, but I'll probably defer to overwhelming reader opinion. I'll leave the contest open for three days. The winner may choose any picture to be displayed in my profile for one week. Extra consideration will be given for haikus that include Ann Coulter, Benny The Four Fingered Magician, or merkley???

Chevalier has the mad haiku skillz, but I'm thinking Kris and -G.D. are going to want this win pretty bad.

As you're scribbling your submission, keep in mind the National Salad Month site says "A tossed salad without garlic is like a wedding cake without flowers."
