Harlan was inspired...

Harlan read my poem last night which probably inspired his email today:

Someone had written the Cendant Internet Engineering group, asking what the zip code was there. Someone else (Mark, mentioned momentarily) said 02142, and I corrected them by memory to 02141. Mark insisted it was 02142, when Tanya wrote:

> [...] according to USPS it was 02141.

And then I wrote to the group my haiku:

Boo-YAH... take THAT, Mark!
Oh two one four two indeed
Utterly whack, yo

It may be that it's the first haiku to use "boo-yah", "whack", and "yo". :-)
