Haiku Madness Part Deux

Rather obsolete
Are steam locomotives, but
People still love them.

-“BB”-

People still love them
Old fashioned lilacs; and now
They’re in bloom 'round here.

They’re in Bloom 'round here,
or so Harold told us all;
quite the bookish guy

Quite the bookish guy,
Our Poindexter. Soon he’ll be
A librarian.

A librarian
isn’t just there to shush you;
she’ll show you great books!

She’ll show you great books!
Microfilm and microfiche!
Periodicals!

Periodicals!
A great word! Nobody knew
What it meant before!

What it meant before
And what it seems to mean now
At length we’ll discuss.

At length we’ll discuss -
Oh, periodicals, then?
Not pterodactyls.

Not pterodactyls
when discussing dinosaurs.
They are pterosaurs.

They are pterosaurs
Of which the P is silent
Unlike my own pee

Unlike my own pee,
T. Rexes have tiny arms.
You’re welcome, Straight Dope!

“You’re welcome, Straight Dope!”
Is what I think to myself
every time I post.

every time I post
I think “What would Cecil post?”
Then post something worse

Then post something worse!
I dare you! (Don’t worry - they’re
Not gonna ban you…)

Not gonna ban you
Unless you persistently
Keep being a jerk.

Keep being a jerk!
We’ve seen many ne’er-do-wells
be gone forever.

Be gone forever!
And don’t you come back until
I start missing you

I start missing you
After a couple drinks down
At the paintball range

At the paintball range,
The storied cooler of death
Hides short contestants.
