Most thought the Pats  
had the Super Bowl sewed up,  
but the Giants won!

Well that’s not too good.

tastes like strawberry

Pipe-smoking tiger  
inhales sweet vanilla smoke.  
Purr, puff, purr, puff, purr.

Jaimie and Adam  
versus our Cecil Adams.  
Galactic carnage!

Days since I haikued.  
However, I’m here today  
With this good haiku!

The urge to haiku  
Overcomes me quite often  
Away from my desk.

But when I sit down  
My mind goes blank, I stare off  
And feel quite stupid.

Feeling stupid, though  
Does not make my fingers stop  
Making bad haiku. 😃

Only one hour  
then it’s baked spaghetti time

Cluricaun’s haiku  
Are all about food these days.  
Are your cupboards bare?

Cluricaun hungers.  
Spaghetti is not enough  
To feed you, Doper.

Spaghetti like worms  
In red juice, hunks of dead flesh  
Clinging. Ick, ick, ick.

Haiku!!! Pure and fine  
Will not clog the arteries,  
But will fill your brain.

Haiku! Chow down now.  
Cluricaun, feed your head, man,  
Swallow haiku, be wise.

Plexiglas brassiere  
The last gasp of a fine man  
Engaged in rude thought.

I really like this!  
It reads like mounds of pink flesh  
Constrained in plastic.

Pink mounds, pertly tipped  
Like in a cheap romance tale,  
Squoze up, spilling out.

Lusty sighs. Saran  
Wrap can be used as condom  
In emergency.

The human mind reels  
From plastic thought to sexy  
Actions. Have a smoke.

I was gone too long  
bereft of haiku, I wept;
