My startribune.com colleague J Pinkley is going to Florida to shoot spring training video … and wants our help. Needless to say, those of us left behind can be wickedly jealous that Pinkley is getting paid to do such a thing — or we can aid her quest by providing haiku that will be used in her report from Florida.

Enamored by Section 220’s use of haiku, Pinkley wants you all to offer up your best efforts to accompany the sights and sounds of Twins baseball in Ft. Myers.

Like this:

Boof has slimmed down now/Auf Wiedersehen to flab/Make it work, Bonser.

or

Delmon Young hits well/That’s why they traded Garza/Don’t mind Carl Crawford

There is a payoff to having your haiku chosen that I can not disclose at the present time. But it will be worth it. Trust me.

We need ‘em sooner rather than later. Post ‘em today, OK?
