Haiku Madness Part Deux

Haggis McNuggets:
“Big Mac,” he was called; became
King of McDonalds.

King of McDonalds
After the Burger Monarch
Launched his invasion

Launched his invasion
Then quickly retreated, he
Always chickens out

Always chickens out,
like some heads of state I know;
what times we live in!

What times we live in!
Two and a half weeks go by
With no new haikus!

With no new haikus
We would have to manage with
Sending out postcards.

Sending out postcards
Miserable Python threads
Four words and limericks

Is too many syllables
Unless you elide.

Unless you elide
The grilled onions, White Castle
Burgers are tasty

The secret ingredient?
Need to know basis


[“Limerick” indeed can be said to have TWO syllables, according to Webster Online, a very definitive source.]

Need to know basis
Means if I need to know it
I should look it up.

I should look it up

I’m on vacation.

I’m on vacation

Stuck with a lemon

Stuck with a lemon
Thanks, life, I’m getting tired of
making lemonade

Making lemonade
Without too much sugar; I
Like it a bit tart.
