[edit] Please leave any comments you have in the form of Haiku in the following section...

Here, something to get the ball rolling... don't be shy...

Waiting for your words
You type in the special way
And bring the most truth

Goodbye ...
I saw you drivin' away
Not stayin' with me today
The afternoon sun streaked my eyes
And I stamped my feet before I went inside.

A warm sweater in winter
Very good
Don't even touch it in summer!

A hamster is for life

Not just for the holidays

So the hamster stays.

This haiku was brought to you by James James, who does not even have the excuse of drunkenness.


Owed two sandwiches...

Get this in yer tum

Thin sliced hamster in a bun

Yum, yum, yummy, yum

By Alf (age 24934) this haiku was found in an abandoned warehouse in Deptford and should have stayed there.


On my RFA

Comments fall like autumn leaves

Thank you for your vote

By Proto, who loves the haikus.

Ode to an odor

Trapped in my colon

A stirring deep inside me

The wind cries Mary

[edit] Or Limericks...

This is a limerick, not haiku

There once was a handsome Haitian
The luckiest dog in Creation.
He worked for the Rubber Trust
Teaching the Upper Crust
The science of safe copulation.

Igor Garibaldi 20:30 28 January 2006 (UTC)





Another limerick:

There once was a man from Vienna
whose face looked just like Burnt Sienna;
he'd stayed out too long
in the hot midday sun;
friends who see him now laugh like a hyena.

Nightstallion (?) 09:20, 3 February 2006 (UTC)


Sorry no haiku, only one of Issac Asimov's Lecherous Limericks:
There once was an effete lazy fop,
Who preferred his women on top.
He said I'm no jerk,
let them do the work.
But if I get pregnant I'll stop.
