A Word with Laurie...bottleneck

One of the most unusual challenges I've met up with at the Imaginary Garden with Real Toads writing group is today's word provided by poet Laurie Kolp. Bottleneck. Whodathunkit? Not I. But it could be fun.

The photo above is of "bottleneck gourds" and was provided by Laurie as one of a series of inspirational photographs to help us write a bottleneck poem. They look like butternut squashes whose growth was impeded by wide, tight rubber bands, don't they? Poor things.
However, the Wikimedia photo below inspired me to write a haiku based, I must admit, on ancient personal experience.
