People,

I wouldn't do this normally, but I'm desperate. I have two questions.
These are going to sound weird, but, yes, they're related to Shadowrun.
Rat's running a new competition at Winterhawk's Virtual Magespace, if
you didn't know (plug plug!) and I need some information for an entry.
Rat, if you're reading this, STOP NOW! The questions will give away who
wrote the entry and we don't want that to happen, do we? :)

Question 1: Does anyone know the breakdown of a haiku? I think it's 5
syllables, 7 syllables, 5 syllables - but I'm not sure.

Questions 2: There's this song - it features in Patriot Games. It's
playing from the TV when the IRA hitman gets murdered in his cottage.
Very "Enya-ish" if you know what I mean. I THINK it's called "Song for
the Dead". Can anyone confirm or correct this?

Thanks for your help. Please.

Seventeen syllables written in three lines divided into 5-7-5
is the usual breakdown of haiku poetry however there are
many other versions of the rule that are generally accepted.

I think that the song that you were after was called
"It's all a bunch of tree hugging yuppie crap"
also by Enya :)

Sorry Doc, but Enya is really an alternate
supply of anesthetic as far as I'm concerned.
Seriously though I couldn't say for sure what your
song was in patriot games, it's been sooo long.

Not Enya, I'm happy to say.

The song is "Harry's Game" and it is by Clannad. It is on the Anam Cd. :)
