Haiku Madness

Seven-Five rule thing?
Back when Ford was President?
O, I’m so confused!

O, I’m so confused!
Should I have chosen “Oh” there,
Or is “O” correct?

Or is “O”, correct?
But wait. Xylophone is “X”?
Why isn’t it “Z”?

Why isn’t it “Z?”
Why don’t you go ask Zed?
Zed is dead, baby

Zed is dead, baby.
That is news to me – indeed,
I knew not he lived.

I knew not he lived
Nor did I cry when he died
But miss him, I do

But miss him, I do
Although he was quite a jerk,
He always bought beer

He always bought beer,
wine, gin, whiskey, tequila;
and his liver? Ouch!

and his liver? Ouch!
Charlie Harper liver’s gone
AND he’s HIV

And he’s “HIV” -
a “helium inflated
vessel,” blimp, that is.

Vessel Blimp, that is”
The captain named his new ship
Dumb name for a boat

Dumb name for a boat?
How about that “Costalot”?
We get it. Ha ha.

“We get it. Ha ha,”
said the crowd to Bad Comic.
He would not return.

He would not return
As he angrily stomped out
Elvis left the room

Elvis left the room
Elvis left the building, and
died in the bathroom

Died in the bathroom
born in the deliv’ry room
living life backwards

Living life backwards
Benjamin Button’s story
Brad Pitt was the star

Brad Pitt was the star
of Bonnie’s erotic dreams
very distracting

Very distracting
A monkey in a clown suit
I can’t look away

I can’t look away
For one day without Haiku
Madness slowing down?!?

(OK, it’s been a week, but still…)
