The goat wants to go for gold.
Monday, September 15th, 2008
The very nice people at carsonified are putting on a competition to win a golden ticket to one of their events. Of course, the goat would love to go to their events, not only because it would mean hanging out with nerds, but also because I probably wouldn’t get to go otherwise.
*sniff*
I’d appreciate all your help in getting me there… all you have to do is comment on this post… I need 25 to enter. If you could include a haiku about goats, I would be sooo excited!
Here’s my haiku:
I need your comments
To become a golden goat
Give me some sweet love
Sorry, that was terrible.

young goats must party,
and where is best for that?
it’s carsonified.
proper haiku. go for it girl.
I am a white goat
You are a sexy black goat
Spring, we make grey goats
A sheep plays it safe
But a goat is a safe play
Always exciting
Goats are not pretty
But looks are not everything
Their cheese delights me
Oh and Margaret, you’ve only got six syllables on your second line, for shame!
I really hope you win, it would be cool to got to the events… but, and here’s my haiku:
The Golden Ticket
is a ploy to get backlinks.
shame on Carsonified
best of luck.
No need to “goat” one into a comment. This blog “milks” the best of the best and I am not “sheepish” to say so. Long live the GOAT!
Girl On A Track! (GOAT)
How can a goat float
He is buoyant and has hope
Safe from the tempest
When in Jeopardy
A hero is what I need
Safety goat saves me
Oh dear
+1 Good luck Kat!
Oh crap! Fail!! 6 Sylables in my third line!
Maybe:
SafetyGoat is nice
Life jacket keeps him afloat
now go for gold, goat
*checks and double checks.*
Yay! Your haikus are brilliant! thanks everyone… so far my favourite is a tie between dan’s and tessa’s. keep em coming.
grass is for eating.
hungry goats are the better
lawn mowers, clearly
(if they are painted and in life jackets then all the better)
cabra, chevre oui
ziege und mandrillo si
they are goats you see
He he!
goats are such cool guys,
like teenage mutant turtles,
cowabunga dudes!
lol that was lame sorry Kat…. I didn’t even know what haiku was until 5 minutes ago…
I needed saving
The rough sea was unforgiving
Safetygoat let go
Once upon a time
There was a competition
To win a golden
… ticket. Blast.
Tom Tom Club goat in
Hokusai water look so

Great one julia! Ollie, yours is so dark, but I like (I like that you’re breaking the haiku mould!). Good effort elliot… and Albert… not really sure what it means, but reminds me of japan, so it’s all good
Keep em coming everyone!
Sailing goat from sea
who wears brightly orange lifesaver
and saves those in need
and that’s your sis trying to be creative
Cheesy. I think it has the right syllable…is orange one or two….if it’s two then take out the “ly” in brightly Good luck lol
Tried for an all “g” poem and not so sure about it…need to drink a lot to get there.
Goats grasps great goodness
Grand gratuitous gestures
Gold goat goes gladly
Good luck Safety Goat!
I love the goat character!!!…cutest thing ever! Also, I am shocked that this site worked as well as it did with my computer’s vista – two thumbs up – way up!
: )
this is a haiku
an ode to the safety goat
safety goat you rock
Hairy, wiry goat.
A surefooted stubborn soul.
Oblong eye, split toe.
red-haired mentalists
with goat fetishes need help
therapy beckons
good luck
Goats are most lovely,
They eat grass and make cheese.
They also eat clothes :-/
What a wonderful site. Will visit this one often. A very talented new artist in the electronic world.
Safetygoat floats on,
Lost at sea, he does find thee
Saving wayward souls.

Goat is new from old
The goat wants to go for gold
Competition won!
angry daring storm
floating hero goat
rotting mouldy oak
row row row your goat… gently down the cola float… hyperly hyperly… merrily, goofily, kana likes to gloat. BUZZ BUZZ. haikus are for suckers.
I don’t do poetry, but I like the goat in a boat! It looks like he can float! (Maybe I can rhyme a bit!)Best of luck with the contest!
Well done on the 30 comments! Best of luck with the draw, Love the flash animation at the bottom of the goat bobbin up and down in the sea.
Didn’t have a clue what a haiku was, so had to go read about them on wikipedia, and still pretty bamboozled. Must of because i was so rubbish at English & Poetry at school. Sorry for not being able to give you a Haiku.
Could you please share a bit of comment-y love with me over at my site please
I love the goat theme.
I know you have the needed 25 comments already but would the guilt thing work for me as well? Pls could you comment on my blog so I can get to 25? And thus reduce your chances of winning the draw?
Please?

Only on the web could this sort of collaborative competition exist and for people to be as helpful as I hope you will be by commenting.
Cheers Chris

He’s so much trouble,
He’s a charming devil too.
Save yourself little goat!
