dpr has a  
teddy bear named Evil Bitch  
is that not spiffy?

I want to be a  
part of the Evil Bitch Tour  
but for logistics ☹

Chef Troy was haiku  
master, but that was a bit  
before I got here

Some day I want to  
eat a meal cooked by Chef Troy  
or by Zenster. Yum.

This enigma known  
as Nymysys - late, I’ve found  
you most intriguing.

Most sorry am I  
to have entered thread so late  
while you felt unloved.

Your .sig line makes me  
grin. Do gods make men, or do  
men the gods create?

And now, thanks due to  
oldscratch’s link, I get to  
see you, as well - grrrr!

Now I haiku you,  
I wouldn’t want 'scratch to  
get Wu-tang on me!

Actress, hedonist,  
psychologist - a unique  
confluence of traits.

This public display  
is not like me. I quickly  
retreat from flirting…

Nobody likes me  
Everybody hates me  
Guess I’ll eat some worms.

I just may be

Thank you, dear, thank you,  
I know that you will catch up  
When I get sick of five/seven/five.

Uh-oh, it looks like  
it has already happened.  
Better keep posting.

In real life do you  
continue to think and talk  
in haiku rhythm?

New poster arrives  
Unknown to everyone here  
Introduce self now

I know nobody  
Here to honor with haiku  
Sorry to hijack

My haiku, it blows chunks  
Will continue anyway  
Nothing else to do

To be or else not  
Is the question, it would seem  
If you’re a Dane prince

Just five syllables  
Followed by only seven  
Hard to make lines scan

I must stop now  
Battle with insomnia

Poor haiku. Perhaps  
Slow aussie speech hinders my  
syllable counting  
Wyldelf has been blocked  
from straightdope during worktime  
Stoopid company…

Wyldelf is so banned  
Work just doesn’t understand  
Misses Nymysys

Withdrawal set in  
Shivers and shakes in my hand  
Need to be online

Life is busy now  
Too close to Christmas to play

Osip I will woo

Let the games begin  
Nymysys help me  
Teach me how to flirt 😉

Like glorious waterfall  
Lit amber by the sun,  
Beer pours into my glass.

The hunger within  
Comes from lunchtime,  
Beer pours into my glass.

The convoy moves  
buzzards circle about,  
damn Florida Ryder truck.

Man dies from loaded gun  
points at head and pulls trigger  
Dumb shit. . .

The Stock Market is up  
my income is down.  
Ironic, isn’t it?

Tripler  
Insightful, yet psychopathic . . .

BigGiantHead came  
out of the woodwork to talk  
to me. Shall I fear?

BGH must now  
go through all of my spouses  
for my attention.

Morph, Oldscratch, Rasa,  
dpr, Wyldelf are they.  
But Wyld wants more men. 😃

Perhaps, under our  
spousal arrangement we can  
make room for one more.

As for Wyldelf and  
her quest for Osip, I say,  
“Feel the force, sweetie.” 🙂

I cannot teach you  
what you already possess.  
Go get 'em, tiger!

Montfort quoth Welfy:  
“Montfont?” Nay, fair young lass,  
It’s Montfort with “r.”

But, I’m digressing  
The trip was fine, but no posts  
Announce the banns yet.

Please wait, take your time  
In due time we might, maybe  
For now we pretend. 😉

Never fear, _chere_ Nym,  
the Head means ill to no one,  
he is far too meek;

Imagining not  
any power to overcome  
so many spouses.

Although, IRL  
he has already been in  
a like arrangement

(To certain degree,  
that is - my now ex-spouse and  
my still best friend did

take to a bed, with  
my agreement, although joy  
lasting was not found).

Now, with Rasa and  
Oldscratch out of town, perhaps  
is the time to pounce!

If only Houston  
and Chicago were not so  
very far apart…
