Opportunity
knocks; guests arrive, cat pounces
onto the table.
Whiskers in gravy,
pawprints on plates. Feline blinks
innocence: “Who, me?”
Impromptu new plan -
after all, take out seems best.
No soup for kitty.
Phad thai is okay
But please try other things too
Delights await you
91 is not
that hot for Bangkok you know
It could be much worse
What the hell? Since when?
“Muh-Piz-Ums” is just plain wrong.
It’s said “Em-Pee-Sims”. 
That may be okay
For you but not for me, 'cause
I say it “muss puss”
Are you kidding me?
Everyone knows that forum
is pronounced “mip sims.”
Like lotus blossom,
I never gave it much thought
bla bla bla bla bla
Sad, forlorn, abused,
this thread has now been hijacked.
Who cares? MPSIMS this.
Hijack has ended,
But the debate rages on.
Post your feelings here.

Let’s trash dinner guests.
Cannot trust the guests
Bundt cake may contain weapon
Hijack THIS, my friend
Scanner at the door
ensures safety for supper
Now I’ll squeeze your boobs
Asian cooking shows
recipies for short notice
Dog will bark no more
I dined on a farm.
Freshest burgers in the world.
Moo. Bang! Chop. Grill. Yum!
The last line should be
Something more than an exten-
tion of the 2nd.
Potato soup for
The guests who arrive on time.
You’re late-- vichyssoise.
Haiku Police where?
Scrutiny of construction
Baby Jesus cries
Preserve the whole or
don’t preserve any of it.
No haiku for you!
A feast for four
Glorious full moon night
I eat alone
As you cook dinner
Your relatives just might be
Out burning your dog!
Late guests are okay.
But I want to await them
In clean living room,
Feet up, sherry, book…
Instead: Sweep! Dust! Chop! Stir! Pour!
Finished! Whew!..Pace. Fret.
Unclear if guests are
the problem, or harried host.
Haiku can confuse.
Tired but ready
She awaits in faint repose
Is that smoke she smells?
