Haiku Madness

I wish I had known
she would jilt me. I wouldn’t
have bought those tickets.

Have bought those tickets
For concerts that were not held
Since headliners died

Because head liners died
there was much celebration
in the Death Pool thread

In the death pool thread
those who “fix” syllable counts
are top of the list

:wink:

are top of the list
Woody Allen & OJ
My wish-to-die list.

My wish-to-die list
includes the whole human race.
I’m a misanthrope.

Uh… doesn’t “misanthrope” have four syllables?

“I’m a misanthrope,”
my people-hating boss said,
and I believed him.

Not the way I’ve ever heard it.


“And I believed him!”
She said to herself, gagging.
He now begs in vain.

Oops! Sorry…not '“fix” but “fuck”..

He now begs in vain
Since some folks followed him home
And learned he was rich.

And learned he was Rich
That Little impressionist
Carson regular

Carson regular.
That’s what you get from eating
mucho prunes and bran.

mucho prunes and bran
Is a breakfast that gives you
Much get-up-and-go.

Much get-up-and-go
When I was young, but I guess
It got up and went.

It got up and went
Then came back and left again
Stop this damn yo yo

Stop this damn yo-yo.
It 's too fascinating when
I’m stoned to the bone

I’m stoned to the bone
and b-b-b-bad as well
also, I fuck up

Also, I fuck up
I can’t have sex lying down
'Cuz of this issue

'Cuz of this issue
I think I need a tissue
(played into my hand)

(played into my hand)
is not very inspiring
for this haiku thread
