SEAL Team 666 Haiku

El Jeffe of Outrageistan dot com tweeted a Haiku review of SEAL Team 666.

SEALS fight the undead

Stephen Hunter meets Buffy

and dog eats demons

A Haiku is a very short form of Japanese poetry characterized by a 5-7-5 syllable structure.

Here was my reply to the review:

Nice SEAL Haiku

It pleased me to no end

For the record, this is the first SEAL Team 666 Haiku.

Thanks El Jeffe.
