Haiku Madness

Serious coinage
Beats ambivalent pennies
Or quirky quarters

Or quirky quarters
like the artsy Hook-Up Truck -
San Francisco treat.

After Final Jeopardy,
Lovely parting gifts.

Lovely parting gifts–
Johnny Olson, please tell them
What they’ve won today.

What they’ve won today…
a year’s supply of Pampers!
Those poor bachelors.

Those poor bachelors
Blew kisses at the show’s end
And all three fell down.

(CK: I applaud you! :slight_smile: )

And all three fell down
Worshipping at Vanna’s feet.
Humpties, all of them.

(Thank you, Burpo)

Humpties, all of them.
A dozen hit the floor. Those
Cartons are flimsy.

Cartons are flimsy.
“But”, say Laurel and Hardy,
“Pianos are, too.”

Pianos, R 2;
You can’t play one because you
Have no droid fingers.

(I cheated :stuck_out_tongue: )

No you didn’t! I felt badly about leaving “Pianos are, too”, but I immediately thought of R2D2 as an option. GMTA :wink:

BIP:

Have no droid fingers?
No Bantha sausage, either?
I’m hungry, dammit!

(CK: Don’t feel bad about leaving, “Pianos are, too.” Somebody would have come along in a day or three and used that AS IS, and kicked its ass, too! Clever bunch, here) :cool:

I’m hungry, dammit!
But, pianos are too big
To eat with a spork.

To eat with a spork,
That is the essence of life.
Existential eats.

Existential eats.
Each gnocchi is said to be
Individual.

Individual
I am, but peer pressure makes
Me center this post.

Me–center this post.
You–nail up the crosspieces.
The whole fence fell down!

The whole fence fell down!
I admit I can’t hammer.
I have peen envy.

I have peen envy
No wait, I meant spleen envy
Loving your organ
