  7. Not Haiku... by krugdm · · Score: 3, Funny

    When Hydrogen Tech played Oxygen U,
    the game had just begun,
    when Hydrogen racked up two fast points,
    and Oxygen still had none.

    Then Oxygen scored a single goal,
    and thus it did remain,
    at Hydrogen 2 and Oxygen 1,
    called because of rain.

    A mosquito was heard to complain
    That a chemist had poisoned his brain

    Was para-dichloro-
    diphenyltrichloroethane
