T'is the season to be jolly, so let's get seasonal with the classic Miracle On 34th Street.
I have in mind the 1947 version, but anyone who wants to do the 1994 version instead, well, be my Christmas guest.
Abbreviated rules borrowed from here to encourage some new entrants ....
The Rules
The first line of a haiku poem has five syllables.
The second line has seven syllables.
The third, and final, line has five syllables.
The Movie Haiku Contest (MHC) is open to every member of the FWFR site.
To enter, all you have to do is think of a Haiku for the current movie, then post into the current thread. Simple as that. Also, haikus may be risque, but nothing explicit please.
Only one entry per person as per The Blevins Rule. However, you are allowed to edit your existing entry until 9pm Tuesday FWFR time. *
Voting.
If you have entered the MHC, then you have to vote. If you do not vote, you'll lose 3 points from your total, even if you are Sludge and its your birthday. This could mean the difference between the adoration and envy of your fellow Fwiffers or being the feckless butt of our jokes!
You do not have to enter an MHC to vote. Vote away. It'll be like a lurker vote!
---------------------------------
For each round, you get to vote for your three favourite haikus. The voting is as follows:
3 pts fwfr a
2 pts fwfr b
1 pt fwfr c
--------------------------------
You may vote only once
You cannot vote for yourself.
You can vote for the previous winner
You vote by sending me your votes in a PM (Private Message) HERE, to Me. I'll resent it, but do it anyway.
When the voting deadline ends (9pm Wednesday 19DEC FWFR time - brought forward by popular demand), the votes are tallied and the top three places are announced.

Once, on thirty-fourth,
Macy and Gimbel made peace
Miraculously.

Kringle sits in court
glances at the gallery
strokes his beard and smiles |

Kris Kringle? Crazy?
But Chico's so wrong. There is
A Sanity Claus.

This time, Santa's mail
got delivered, because Kris
was at the court house. |

Sorry to do this Whip, but the quote from the movie is "aw, you canna foola me, I know there's no sanity clause". |

I believe Whipper has renewed his poetic license!

I guess for that mistake I'll lose a couple of marx! 
As my artistic licence was only provisional, and has several endorsements already and actually expired the end of last month, I have amended my haiku accordingly.
It's just a shame some of us have no poetry in their hearts.

Except that, the poem works better this way, if you ask me.
(And since I'll be voting, then technically, you are asking me.)
