I write like Bruce fights.  
I will destroy your Kung-Fu!  
Lips do not match words.

All you dogs may whine,  
At my talents with meter.  
Ha! I even rhyme!

Your haikus are poor.  
Count your syllables, foul dog!  
five, seven, and five

It’s Shaolin combat  
For bored English grad students!  
Show me YOUR kung-fu!

I think haiku sucks.  
Don’t bother me with this crap.  
**Miller** , don’t hit me.

Haiku? Fucking A.  
This shit really fucking rocks.  
So does jerking off.

That was TMI  
Masturbating bear said so.  
I agree with him.

I think all haikus  
Should include masturbating  
**Miller** , bring it on

I have now become  
The master of this domain.  
Surrender yourselves

I do not waste time  
With petty fists or num-chucks  
or…kung fu haiku

If you think that you  
Can escape the wrath in me  
You must be confused

For you must have heard  
All your base are belong to us.  
You will all succomb!!

**Wish,** you count poorly.  
Seven, not eight, imbecile!  
And it’s spelled “succumb.”

**Lightning** as Xiao Yu?  
At last I see why you wear  
That schoolgirl outfit.

Once again, I have won.  
I am the kung-fu haiku  
master! Yeah, baby!

Damn, now I see that  
kung-fu haiku would have been  
a better title.

one word haikus can’t  
use is antidisesta  
blishmentarian…  
I like haikus that  
break all the rules that have been  
established since a long time ago  
Through is a good word  
to use in a haiku 'cause  
it’s one syllable

I am really drunk  
in case you haven’t noticed  
so funk you, biznatch

Ah, Drunken Master!

Akido haiku  
Sidesteps violent kung fu.  
And remains standing.

Graceful balance drifts  
Softly confounding kung fu,  
Until peace returns.

Like MC Hammer  
I’ll roll you up like carpet  
2 legit to quit

Don’t think I won’t scrap  
I will make you take a nap  
and also a crap

Get back on your knees  
And beg of me forgiveness  
Before I wreck you

I’ll put you into check  
And that goof was on purpose  
Clap on, clap OFF, fool

Seeking no honor,  
Akido haiku black belt  
Only holds up pants.

Whirling words fly by,  
Bringing only soft breezes,  
As we share laughter.

Bow to honored foes,  
Pass the title on laughing,  
You are now master.

I have studied well.  
I take **Tris** ’s belt, his pants  
fall down. Victory!

Once again, I am  
Haiku master. You can tell  
by my fake moustache.

As you can see, it  
Is very long and droopy.  
It gets in my soup.

Still, haiku kung-fu  
Masters must have fake droopy  
moustache. Union regs.
