No quiz this week. Instead, we'd like to see what kind of creative energy the "show about nothing" inspires. We invite you to submit your best Seinfeld haiku. Since Monday, May 11, happens to be National Limerick Day, it's only fair to allow Seinfeld limericks, too.
To refresh your memory, here are the definitions of haiku and limerick, from our dictionary:
