A story from work today. Details have been omitted to protect Our Secrets.

Today there was a need to send an e-mail to a group letting them know that some speed tests they were running against a website to determine why it was slow were actually contributing greatly to the slowness, and could they please stop running those tests during a busy part of the day.

bpr suggested writing a haiku. Here was my suggestion:

you test for slowness
self-fulfilling prophecy
you reap what you sow

I only mention it because mkf (a haiku mentor) proclaimed that it was "classic!!!"

I like haiku.
