A small kangaroo?
Isn’t that a wallaby?
Now I’m in for it!

Chef, I’m sad to say
That wombats are not like 'roos
But rather small bears.
Not actual bears
But stocky bear-like creatures
Or so says Webster’s.
I made a mistake.
The one I was thinking of
Is a wallaby.
I apologize.
May I be permitted to
Write a replacement?
“Don’t trust the wombat.
this bear-like critter is a
Wallaby lover.”

All right I admit it. You ARE the master.
I bow down in front of your superior poetic abilities.

I’m on GMT
And it’s well after midnight
So I’m off to bed
But when work is done
And I can get back on-line
I’ll surely be back

Chef shows true talent
But the real test is to write
A wombat sonnet.
Chef, I’m looking for a good recipe for a chiffonade salad dressing.
Needless to say, I’d like it in the haiku form, please.
Uke
But one last haiku
Another challenge for Chef
Will he dare say yes?
My challenge is this-
Dare the Chef write a haiku
About…The Straight Dope?
See ya all tomorrow

Can you do Villanelles?
seriously.
How about one on Groundhogs?
spam- I’ve already got one-
tender pink morsel
glistening with salty gel
what the hell is it?
try to beat that
Oil and vinegar,
basil cut into fine shreds,
thyme, garlic, dijon.

I’d do villanelles,
But I don’t know what it is.
How many syllables?
As for groundhogs…sure!

Here’s a triad:
VERY clever folks,
All too smart for their own good
(except for the trolls…)
Not one ever met
a question they didn’t like,
'cept the “GRY” one.
They rally around

“Long live the Straight Dope!”

But what of the egg?
Hard-boiled, and the beets? Leek?
Was I misinformed?
Haiku two, line three
In the above post should read,
“'Cept for the ‘GRY’ one.”

I’ll try. Granted this is not an original, but it’s my favorite spam haiku.
salty pink temptress–
I can no longer remain

That movie taught me some important lessons in life. 1. I can build a robot that loves me. 2. I can reanimate my dead girlfriend by jamming bits of metal and silicon into her skull. Both are lessons I use on a daily basis…
Head hung low in shame
A new post, a missing word
Recounting new hope
inconceivable? i don’t think that word means what you think it does
You are correct, sir.
I didn’t look up the list
of ingredients.
I just created
A salad dressing for you.
It’s in your honor.
See, the chiffonade
technique is to finely shred
an herb for garnish.
The salad dressing
Is a diff’rent recipe.
It is as follows:
Start with French dressing.
Mince hard-boiled egg, green pepper,
Chives, parsley, and beets;
Also mince onion.
Take the above minced veggies;
Blend into dressing.
But it sounds nasty.
My own dressing recipe
Will taste better.
