Dear Spike's Friends:
Per a fun and lovely suggestion from Spike's Godmother, it's time for the second irregular edition of "Spiku." This week's challenge: Write a Haiku in the form of a classified advertisement. The ad must be baby related. Anything else goes. You can either act as buyer or seller. But please, none of those creepy "I saw you at the Starbucks" ads. I'll pick the top four, then let you vote in a poll. Winner gets a genuine press pass from the Miss America Pageant. No, really. (I'll be writing Spike more about it soon.)
Love,
Spike's dad
P.S. — This is all in good fun. Please do not call child protective services.
From Spike's dad:
For sale: one baby
Good condition, hardly used
Will take best offer
From Spike's mom:
Wanted: A hot bath
An uninterrupted sleep
Slumbering baby
