(yes, I'm bored)

There was an old man
From Peru, whose lim'ricks all
Look'd like haiku. He
Said with a laugh "I
Cut them in half, the pay is
Much better for two." -
Voodoo was too fast.
He spoiled my witty idea
with a limerick.-
I would like to state
Those words were an echo of
Your mom from last night.
(All in good fun. It's a "That's what she said!" type comment.
) -
Ah, such things you say
It would truly offend me,
did I respect you.

I wrote this about Old Bay Seasoning:
hey old bay you are
so fine you blow my mind hey
old bay hey old bay
fantastic on crab
born in the state of the blue
also great on fish
jazz up deviled eggs
paprika has met its match
eat sh*t and die b*tch
lemon and garlic
two of the varieties but
blackened is the bomb
other spices can
kiss its ass because it has
the ultimate taste
Haiku sucks big butts
this form of poetry lame
America rules -
C-A, that's awesome.
You should write a recipe
in haiku format.-
not a bad idea!
-
Take one piece of ham,
chop it into tiny bits.
Fry them with garlic.
Add some cooking cream,
bell pepper and onion
and let it simmer.
Hey, this is actually fun.

I sit at my desk
reading the rants of crazy
bloggers all day long-
I don't envy you.
It must at times be very
frustrating and dull.

I have heard it's bad
To write text messages when
You're drunk and horny.-
I agree with you.
You definitely do
have a good point there. -
That gives some insight
into the delicate life
that is still thinking
-
I would not have thunk
Still would be one to text drunk
but horny, maybe -
Delicate flower
I have never claimed to be
It was my friend, not me!
-
the euphemism
it was a good friend, not me
I do not believe.
-
I do not know what
You are trying to imply
I am pure as snow
-
-
I wonder, do tell
have you engaged in this kind
of activity? -
I'm having a coke.
I think the diet stuff is
not so good for you. -
A tortured soul wails
A hellbound heart sentenced
devil is my name-
Hey, that's pretty good.
You have a poetic streak
in your kiwi mind.

Rainhat still denies
that this challenge idea
was actually mine! :O-
That is quite unfair
you mentioned it long ago
and for offline use -
Excuses, that's all.
Fish say that a long ago
was this morning's meal. -
Bah, humbug, I say!
I beat you to the ticket,
don't steal the credit. -
Let's say it's all good,
if a chocolate cookie
is traded for peace.

Dear ladies and gents,
I'd like to introduce my
fiancee Giinja.-
Your Fiance Is
A woman of lucky fate
Luck deserves true love -
Lucky is the word,
it was a proposition
I could not refuse -
You two are lovely
And welcome to BC friend
Good People in love

My Haiku
Residual thoughts
of faded memories past
no longer destroy
---Melinda Roberts Tyler
Rainhat--nice new picture!-
I decided that
you had a point in saying
real pics are better.
I like your haiku!
It's like a miniature
biographic text. -
Thank you much rainhat
For your lovely compliment
And starting this thread
-
-
I had half a mind
to verse my B. C. comments
but then I gave up. -
I AM haiku challenged
-
Oh, Agit8r
We will allow that you find
Total forgiveness -
I still dont get why
Conspiracies on work camp
Get you so mad, Gnome!

My philosophy
Is one of utility
And futility-
Well said, sir voodoo.
Your condensed summary is
apt and descriptive. -
Philosophy is
That which cannot be held far
And it must stay true
-
-
haikus are easy
they don't always make sense
Refridgerator-
It's true in a way.
The meter is simple math
but hard to master.
Anyone can count,
but to turn it into art
is not as easy.
-
The mist set outside
though the cuckoo did not sing
when the clock struck two -
-
-
No repose at BC
Insomnia afflicted
babblers of the night -
This cruel affliction
depriving us of slumber
is all too common -
What is a haiku
but a string of syllables
numb'ring seventeen -
four hours without ache
can you believe that is true?
her threads died, hurray!
(my first haiku ever) -
- Moonlight dreams on wet grass
Merry music dances down drain pipes
Skylights drip treble notes
