Cataclysm Beta Contest Haiku Voting Thread: Day 2!

Most of the haikus are meh. And it figures that the one that doesn't make you laugh is getting low votes, i.e the Stand tall brave human one. Guarenteed way to win: Put a meme in your haiku. Really dissapoints me.
P.S. Song lyrics for a haiku? Really?

For Thrall's sake "SHIRE" is ONE syllable, read a dictionary before posting about the syllable count.
+1 for dictionary use
-1 for dictionary.com though :P
But really, dictionaries disagree, we've been over this in the other thread. Just let it be, it clearly could be the proper 5.

I do have a concern, though. Since this is just for a Cataclysm Beta Test Key, shouldn't these haikus be limited to the following:
Only original haikus, please. No song lyrics or twists to make them "WoWified"
Only haikus based on the upcoming expansion will be permitted, as this contest is for a Beta Key.
In my opinion, this is a little lame due to opening it up to encompass the entire WoW universe. As I stated above, if this is for a Beta Key for Cataclysm, then shouldn't the contest contain my second point?
that makes sense but it probably wont happen, one of mine was awesome and about worgen

I see your point other than the fact that everyone entering here (or so I assume), dosen't have access to the beta and only have a very general sense of the content, even those who read wowhead.com and mmo-champ.
Also, thanks for all the votes peoples! I submitted mine this morning

Hogger was captured / Taken to Stormwind's Stockade / Now we are all doomed!
Hogger, a low-level quest objective in the human staring zones, is one of the first "elite" monsters encountered by many players. As such, they are not ready for the difficulty of defeating him relative to other non-elite monsters surrounding him. This difficulty has gained him a significant reputation as nigh-invincible. The submission posits that in the event Hogger were to be allowed into the capital city of the Alliance, and possibly even into the 5-player dungeon contained therein, he would be a threat beyond equal.
*SPOILER ALERT*
*SPOILER ALERT*
*SPOILER ALERT*
Hogger is in the stockades in Cataclysm. He is now a boss in there.
Out of curiosity: Are you already in the beta?
My question has been answered. However, wouldn't watching a video before entering a contest be considered "getting a head start"?
Get a head start how? It's writing a haiku, not necessarily your knowledge of Cata, and I'm sure 90% of the people who entered have seen or read a piece of information on Cata, we all just want to test it out ourselves.

Aww mine's not up either. But most of these are great, except, as mentioned before, splitting a 17 syllable sentence into a haiku doesn't really count, it sounds awful when you continue a thought between two lines (number 1 is the biggest offender).
