Haiku Train

[twoleftfeet]

Shop recognition
is easily achieved by
studying the front

[barrie]

studying the font
studiously ignoring
what's lurking behind

[twoleftfeet]

What's lurking behind
the pristine kitchen chrome? - those
encroaching 'roaches

[barrie]

Those encroaching roaches
slowly move towards the glow
of hot, smoking joints.

[Jester]

of hot, smoking joints,
on a roll with figs and legs
of friends enveloped.


Knew someone who had worked in a biscuit factory!

[barrie]

Of friends enveloped,
always remember and try
to keep me posted.

[twoleftfeet]

To keep me posted
- keep my attention well rapt
and stamp on my head

[barrie]

"..and stamp on my head,"
said the football hooligan,
"hammer some sense in!"

[Jester]

"hammer some sense in!"
Nails might help form new pathways
between random cells.

[barrie]

Between random cells,
the prisoner felt homesick.
He dreamt of Strangeways.

[Jester]

He dreamt of Strangeways,
brewing Boddington's bitter
for his buddy's bar

[barrie]

For his buddy's bar
Holts is a sensible choice -
Dream of Manchester.

[Jester]

Dream of Manchester?
What's wrong with the mint cake mate?
Not got a sweet tooth?

[barrie]

Not got a sweet tooth,
nor do I own sour molars
or bitter dentures.

[Jester]

or bitter dentures
that witter of their ventures -
plastic chattering

[barrie]

plastic chattering
happens a lot in all the
high level boardrooms

[ron]

high level boardrooms
house senior gamesmen, plotting
to ex-ter-min-ate...

[barrie]

To exterminate,
proper planning is needed.
Viruses will do.

[Jester]

Viruses will do -
perfecting their mutations
to achieve their goal

[ron]

to achieve their goal,
changes have to be made in
their permutations

[Jester]

their permutations
deserved congratulations -
hot humans for lunch

[barrie]

Hot humans for lunch
tend to go for cold salads,
maybe a cold beer.

[twoleftfeet]

Maybe a cold beer -
a gallon of FRANKENSTEIN
for a larger lout

[barrie]

For a larger lout,
a lot more force is needed;
Darth Vader, perhaps.

[twoleftfeet]

Darth Vader, perhaps?
He's on the Dark side, wears black -
He must drink Guinness
