Anyone care to haiku with me?

A wrinkled dollar
You carefully feed it in
Rejected! No snack

The coffee is too hot
At your desk you’re distracted
Then it is too cold

Staring at my screen
It looks as if I’m working
I’m really not, though

That’s all I got right now. You?

clutter on my desk:
the turbulent aftermath
of major brainstorms

ok i have no
other burdens upon me
let us shoot the breeze

speaking of haiki
seems silly, really to end
sentences abrupt

Admitting diagnosis hailu! (true stoy)

Sir, there’s a problem
Pooping in the urinal
Is frowned upon here

Ailment:

passing stool via penis

Inspired by the cell phone/bathroom thread I penned. :smiley:

The cell phone talker
Works to hide sounds of peeing
Oops! Fart in next stall.

Haiku threads are great
You dopers are too funny
Never let one sink

I don’t see the point.
Why we should haiku with you?
Do it by yourself. :stuck_out_tongue:

I can’t haiku now -
I have got to do some work!
Maybe tomorrow. :frowning:

Do you fear thirteen?
“Triskadekaphobia”
You may be a loon

If you can read this
You are sitting much too close
To my new haiku

Winston dissappoints
I felt sure his haiku would
include testicles

This is my first post
on The Straight Dope Message Board.
How do you like it?

Here’s another one:

Skip dead fish across
the Mississippi River.
Better than flat rocks!

(Based on an actual incident)

Be very careful
When starting to write haiku
To count the sylla

May the forces of
Evil become confused on
the way to your house!
I know, doesn’t really sound Haiku-ish.

School’s out for summer
Work will begin on thursday
one lovely day off

A novel concept
getting paid. inflow equals
outflow? Incroyable!

That was a bad one
A good haiku has meter
and one thought per line

Bureaucratic woes.
Why can’t they send me the specs?
Then they’d get their files.
I had to redeem myself from my earlier attempt.

Work - can’t concentrate.
Much more fun surfing the Dope.
Threads need attention!

Haiku? Sure, why not?
Some art thrives on restrictions
Like syllable counts.

Almost lunchtime now
Maybe get some fine sushi
Fitting for this thread.

But then, back to work
The Straight Dope is such a sweet
Distraction, I’ve found!

Seems this thread is slow.
Why won’t Dopers come and play?
Must be trapped at work.

You should spell the word
“Triskaidekaphobia”
(The Spelling Police)

Tonight brings an end
To Idol speculation.
Will Blake win? Or Sparks?

Fall lineup features
Show starring Geico cavemen.
Neanderthal, man!
