Foosball Table Haiku 1
Foosball Table Haiku, or as we like
to call it, FoosKu, is an open project for the foosball
community. Our goal is to establish a collection of FoosKu
from all over the world, to celebrate the awesomeness of
foosball. Your FoosKu should reflect the sublime beauty
of the game (or the foosball table itself,) it should be
free of foul language, and should have the correct number
of syllables to qualify as a haiku*.
Every Month, the visitor who submits the best FoosKu, as
determined by our panel of experts, will win a crisp $10
bill. I know, I know... Start writing!

Foosball table leans,
Like birches at first snowfall.
