Unicorn sighting: Rome
While I’d ordinary leave unicorn sightings to the Harry Potter contingent (no offense to you, Harry Potter contingent), something about the idea of an Italian deer unicorn provides all sorts of extra opportunities for snarkiness:

Sadly, unlike another recently discovered abnormality, this mono-antlered Roe Deer cleverly named “Unicorn” (hey, maybe it’s clever before being translated from Italian to English) has been determined to be not a manifestation of divine providence, but a garden variety genetic flaw/birth defect. So, rather than a magical improvement on the quality of healthcare worldwide, speculators anticipate Uni’s legacy primarily being remembered by the Italian-crafted shoe buyers of the world.

Wow. Together, and with a little editorial intervention, you two could be the Lenin & McCartney of the blog haiku circuit:
I like unicorns
They like corn; I, too, like corn
Also, tea biscuits
Yep. I think you’ve got a good thing going, Loo and Barb.

Surely you mean Lenin and Marx?
Googling “Lenin Marx Haiku” turned up this gem:
The pain in my ass…..
Why do I talk to these dense
Libertarians?
Most days I feel that way myself!

Not really sure what that had to do with Unicorns, though.
