Sparrows in moonlight
Reads like a proper haiku.
This one, not so much.
This one, not so much.
As are most of these haikus.
Most are not clever.
Most are not clever
Which is how we wind up with
Certain folks in charge
Certain folks in charge
come January 20
will drive me quite mad
will drive me quite mad
political reference?
I see what you did
I see what you did
subtlety not my long suit
sparrows in moonlight
sparrows in moonlight?
Haven’t we heard that before?
Be original!
Be original!
What a cliché thing to say
Be origami!
“Be origami!”
is how they told me to fold.
Not in this lifetime!
Not in this lifetime
Nor the next shall I ever
Like cauliflower.
Like cauliflower,
Most other Brassicas are
Very delicious!
Whoops, I didn’t realize there was another post!
Trying again:
Very delicious!
We all said; though their cooking
Was just a good try.
Was just a good try,
but missed the basketball hoop;
better luck next time!
Better luck next time
Is what they often will say
right before you die
Right before you die,
Kick the executioner
And spit in his eye.
And “Spit In His Eye”
Is the latest hit single
From that country star.
From that country star
we should expect more hokum.
Do you like hokum?
Do you like hokum?
I guess it’s ok, but I
Prefer poppycock
Prefer poppycock?
Malarkey’s on the way out.
Balderdash is in.
Balderdash is in!
I was looking for that cat
Nearly all night long.
(I’ve never actually had a cat named Balderdash. But it does seem like a good name for a cat.)
