For this weeks Haiku Prompt Challenge the words were Spirit & Flight. My example was:

Otis flees with cow,

Full of spirits for the night,

He is put to bed.

Underneath my example I asked if anyone could guess what inspired the Haiku. As no one has answered I decided to go ahead and share the Haiku today with the answer.

This is the Episode 18 of Season 5 from 1965 of The Andy Griffith Show. Otis is the town drunk who shows up riding a cow. Otis normally only gets drunk one night a week and then shows up at the jail to sleep it off. This time Barney, the deputy decides to rehabilitate Otis and offends Otis.

Why did this come to mind when I saw Spirit & Flight? Well I decided to go with some fun and Spirits is another name for liquor and that led me to Otis and the cow was just funny.

And here it is without the words. The red is used in such a way above because if you notice the black and whites of the photo overlapped so much it was almost impossible to find a good color to use.
