Facepalm Cat is ashamed of me. I can only guess that I must have accidentally left a significant chunk of my brain under the bed in my hotel in Naples (which I recomend thoroughly should you ever need a hotel in Naples). But I'm also baffled as to how it took days --DAYS!!!-- for anyone to point out this error? It's not rude to point out that people are wrong when they are, children. As long as it's handled kindly and/or with humor (as it was here), it's actually a nice thing to do. Since there's no way to turn back the clock and make myself less of a moron, though, I thought we'd rectify things by balancing them out a little. And so I bring you: The Here Go Hell Come Haiku Happening
In which, to show that we can work with others better than our good friend Calvin Tran, fabulous prizes* will go to whoever can best complete this LIMERICK**.
Tonight in the FINAL finale
Two Top Chefs will both try to rally....
And the rest is yours, my little poets and poetesses. Two shorter lines with a B rhyme, then a final 9 syllable line with the A rhyme following the feet scheme I've laid out above (which as best I can figure out is kind of a glyconic variation but this is hardly the time to start getting bogged down in technical terms, so just pace it out yourself). Do with it what you will.
* Fabulous being an utterly relative term; they will probably be the same as offered for the previous "limerick" contest to the entry with the winning haiku.
** Best as determined by utterly democratic vote; entries will be accepted until 6 a.m. on the morning of April 2, with voting to take place between then and the airing of the reunion show.

"Chef Blais will conjure a meal,
Pig Isabella will squeal,
And for Richard, the judges will tally."
I hope it's not Mikey.
That douche, me no likey.
But I'm confident Richard will rally.
Goddamnit, rally and rally. I'm the frickin poet laureate of Moronsville. I retract my entry.
Not a limerick, or a haiku. I knew you meant haiku, I gave a haiku line in response, so I subliminally read haiku not limerick. Had to go back to the post to even convince myself that you really did write limerick.
For Blais, Spike will spy,
Tweak ice cream, they'll try,
And Isabella gets kicked to the alley!
I'll try to think of some more, but you're throwing me a loop to find words that rhyme with "rally".
Mike tries to show class,
But he's still such an ass,
And Blais can vacation in Bali!
Mike wins the battle of meats
But he loses with beets
Blais adds one more win to his tally
One more try:
Congratulations to Blais
Isabella leaves in a haze
Top Chef Masters, please don't dillydally.
Pepperoni sauce made Mike a contender
In the end, he's just a pretender
Tongue and Cheek gets Blais the winning tally
(submitted too late?)
Oysters and pearls show one's whimsy,
The other's beet salad was all too flimsy,
Richard Blais is judged best in the galley.
(again, too late?)
