Haikus are hunted

Rebuffs to be given fast

Or Perhaps half Speed

Now Wanted Haiku

Do not have to make much sense

Same as the poster

And now for something for the Beavah...

One day I'll be famous! I'll be proper and prim;

Go to St. James so often I will call it St. Jim!

One evening the king will say:

"Oh, Liza, old thing,

I want all of England your praises to sing.

Next week on the twentieth of May

I proclaim Liza Doolittle Day!

All the people will celebrate the glory of you

And whatever you wish and want I gladly will do."

"Thanks a lot, King" says I, in a manner well-bred;

But all I want is 'enry 'iggins 'ead!"

I have to say this to be consistent. But I think a Sewing merit badge sounds so girly as to scare the boys away. Now, Tailoring, that is a masculine profession and oddly enough encompasses the same skills are what GS-CS is talking about. And they are necessarily skills. I almost said these skills could be folded into a Home Economics merit badge, but if I thought sewing was too girly, well anyhow. The skills are required for living, as would be proper dining etiquette and place setting but I digress
