Haiku Madness Part Deux

unsanitary

poetry reflects the mind

RFK junior

RFK Junior?
I’m sure not thankful for him -
not now, not ever!

“Not now, not ever.
Never, never: Nevermore.”
Quoth that ghastly bird.

Quoth that ghastly bird:
“Around thy neck I shall thus
Be, forevermore”

Be forevermore
welcome in this haiku thread!
Glad to have you here.

Glad to have you here
But, no lie, I’ll also be
Happy when you go

Happy when you go
On your little poopie pad
What a good wee boy!

“What a good wee boy”??
Can we not keep politics
out of haiku thread?

Out of haiku thread?
Dangerous territory
Beware nastiness

Beware nastiness
When your mate finds a blonde hair
And she’s a brunette

“And she’s a brunette,”
Bobby said of my blind date,
but that was a lie.

But that was a lie,
a lie, yet another lie.
“What is truth?” he asked

“What is truth?” he asked,
Though you could tell he didn’t
Really want to know.

Really want to know
How the feminine mind works
An impossible quest?

Impossible quest?
Right number of syllables
Or nonsexist jokes?

[I counted each line like HALF A DOZEN times this time…

really = 2, want = 1 to = 1 know = 1, 5
1 + 1 + 3 + 1 + 1 = 7
1 + 4 + 1 oh crud. I even had another word there but thought I was one lousy syllable short. My dyslexic ass likely needs to stay out of this thread…]

“Or… nonsexist jokes?”
the standup comic offered;
there were no takers.

Sometimes somebody just pronounces something differently.

There were no takers
When John_DiFool offered his
Syllable lessons

(sorry, couldn’t resist :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:)

:zany_face:

Syllable lessons
Don’t do me any lasting good
Just need a new brain
