It is not enough
for me to write bad haiku;
you must read it, too.
You must read it. Too
Long, you say? Dude, don’t you know
Haiku has its rules
Haiku has its rules,
Which Dopers will gleefully abandon
To make a daft point
To make a daft point
Is all well and good, but don’t
Blaspheme our haikus!
Blaspheme our haikus
at the risk of drawing our
harshest mockery
Harshest mockery
is reserved for everyone.
You are so damn smart.
“You are so damn smart,”
everyone says to me, and
damned if they ain’t right!
Damned if they ain’t right!
But, right or wrong, they are still
running the country.
Running the country
is something I’d love to do,
but no one’s asked me
But no one’s asked me
so I’ll keep my opinion
on it to myself.
On it! To myself:
Note that on my lists; make sure
That I get it done.
That I get it done
is always a question. I’m
known to be lazy.
“Known to be Lazy”
Working title of Springsteen’s
Hit “Born to be Wild”
(sidebar)
Like a donut that’s glazy
We are known, known to be lazy
Don’t care if you approve
I never wanna moooove
Known to be Lazy
Known to be Lazy
Hit “Born to be Wild”
on the old jukebox, baby!
I’ve got the quarters!
I’ve got the quarters
to do at least eight dozen
big loads of laundry!
Big loads of laundry
hold the eternal promise
additional spare change
That last line has six and not five syllables, as I say it.
In play:
Addit’nal spare change
is under couch cushions
or so I’ve been told
Or, so I’ve been told,
is French for glittering gold.
Golden gold glitters.
Golden Gold glitters -
a shiny superhero!
Quite powerless, though.
