                    The Top 8 Barnyard Haikus


 8> Need to lay some eggs
    Farmer wants chicken tonight
    Lay eggs now! Chop, chop!

 7> A cloned sheep farm
    Early death from pre-aged genes
    Ewe, that's disgusting

 6> Run, run little sheep
    Head for safety of meadow
    Joe-Bob took blue pills

 5> How do you describe
    Rooster coprophilia?
    Cock-a-doodle-doo

 4> Yon mare entices
    Why then do I not respond?
    I am a gelding

 3> Old farmer he comes
    Our eggs gone, our milk stolen
    Tonight we get him

 2> I feel no pleasure
    The bulls do not give me joy
    Insemination


           and the Number 1 Barnyard Haiku...


 1> The neighbor's cattle
    You graze in my fields? Begone!
    For you're not my kine
