He purchased a priviledge to post

Then insulted his most gracious host

Though he loses his letters

He pretends that he’s better

And thinks himself smarter than most

But ,though he may think that is true

No one else shares that same view

For when he starts to type

What comes out is trite

And offensive to those he would woo

Anyone else want to try?

Hmm…maybe we are being whooshed. **nonpolar** ’s last post was surprisingly well-written and cogent. Pretty good spelling, too. Still with the puntuation things though.

And the anti-American slurs sounds kind of like someone might be from the Middle Ea… hey, I’ve got it!

He’s **Aldeberan** ’s little brother!

There once was a dude named **nonpolar**

Who’s brain would be lost in a bowler

He wanted to be a mod

We said “Help us, Oh God!”

The guy’s like an impacted rear molar.

Ears closed to logic  
Study in paranioa  
Jackboots sound closer  
Misunderstood sage?  
Bridge dwelling sociopath?  
We hardly knew ye.

I love haiku. I just can’t seem to get it to flow right.
