Two Random Word Haiku for March 2

sulfathiazole
eradicating brownprint
premenstrual smile

Sulfathiazole is an antibiotic, and brownprint is a reproduction technique that produces white lines or image on a brown or sepia background.

guestimating pya
envoi sandwich compound crave
alchemically

Pya is, apparently, a form of currency in Myanmar.  Surprisingly, that's something that you could indeed guesstimate, with a little bit of a stretch, like you could be 'guesstimating dimes.'  An envoi is a short final stanza at the end of some poems, serving as an explanation or a dedication or a summary.  (Why, Poesytron, are you becoming self-referential?)

I enjoy trying to imagine what it feels like to "crave alchemically" a "sandwich compound."  It doesn't sound very appetizing...
