The best piece of music EVER

So yesterday my wife and I went to a concert of new choral music done by local groups, including a chamber choir that we usually sing with but had to beg off from due to other comittments. One group was doing a piece made up of four haikus written by the composer's friends about their cats. The second part of the piece, called Tiamat, was based on the following haiku:

I think I smell ham
Maybe it's in your armpit
Tasty armpit ham!

I cannot stop reciting this. In the past 16 hours, I have turned to my wife completely at random and said "I think I smell ham" countless times. It's becoming a mantra.

I'm completely losing it, aren't I? (But on the plus side: TASTY ARMPIT HAM!)

Oh for fuck's sake.

Why did this happen to you? They got that haiku off ILX, didn't they?

A choral piece about tasty armpit ham has to be the best thing ever, indeed. I am hearing a 1000 strong choir belting it out, Wagner stylee. OMG.

WHY DID I NOT THINK OF THIS BEFORE

THE SOURCE REVEALED!

(The one by Njord was part one of the piece.)

THE HOME OF THE CONDUCTOR

I am tempted to send him an email that just says "I think I smell ham..."

Tiamat the Symphonic Metal band?

Tiamat is actually a kind of folkloric monster.

He said "Armpit!" I said HAM.
He said "Armpit!" I said HAM.
He said "Armpit!" I said HAM.
He said "Armpit!" I said TASTY HAM!

Tombot has the right approach here.
