does a font by any other name look as sweet?

i recently learned of a haiku contest. the subject is fonts (helvetica, specifically), and those who know me can understand the enthusiasm with which i approach the project. here are my first three attempts:

stocky and homely
your curves are nonexistent
like girls at thirteen

you are a default
i change you to futura
but you haunt me still

i shot the serif
im sorry times new roman
you slept with my wife

i know the last one isnt really about helvetica, but it might be my favorite so far. there are some pretty good ones up on the contest's site. check it out.

also, i met two of my heroes this weekend.
