Haiku Train

[barrie]

Power of numbers
overwhelms common sense - Who'll
win the lottery?

[Travis]

Win the lottery?
Sure, I'm game for that! Go buy
me a winner. Now!

[Lake]

Me, a winner. Now
everyone looks at me with
new eyes, but myself.

[Travis]

New eyes, but myself,
old ones. I envy each new
child for what they have.

[Lake]

Child, for what they have
done to you, do the same to
them. An eye for eye.

[barrie]

Them? An eye for eye?
And a nay for nay, says I -
That's gobbledegook.

[kozmikdave]

That's gobbledegook?
Old Testament laws call for
writer to be stoned.

[Kilravluis]

writer to be stoned
laws to be cut into stone
writer should be stoned

[kozmikdave]

Writer should be stoned
before writing the sequel -
gazing into space.

[Kilravluis]

gazing into space,
goldfish swam round hs castle,
and gazed into space

[kozmikdave]

..and gazed into space -
his mind being sucked into
various black holes.

[Kilravluis]

Various black holes
sucked in the world's biggest banks -
Piggy banks are sound.

[barrie]

Piggy banks are sound -
not the echoing hollow
sound of Northern Rock.

[Elphin]

Sound of Northern Rock.
Is it same as Northern Soul
or different beat?

[juliadebeauvoir]

Or different beat,
from a different drummer,
The Stones: Charlie Watts.

[Elphin]

The Stones: Charlie Watts
keeps a strange beat when he drums.
Pipe and slippers time.

[barrie]

Pipe and slippers time -
He plays the pipe but slippers
on a dead haggis.

[juliadebeauvoir]

On a dead haggis,
the old hag hagged out a meal,
it was disgusting.

[Elphin]

It was disgusting.
Chieftan of the pudding race -
offal, oats and guts

[Lake]

offal, oats and guts -
birds busy pecking. Nature
takes care of itself.

[juliadebeauvoir]

Takes care of itself,
combs its hair down to its feet,
thats our Cousin It.

(You know, from the "Adams Family")

[kozmikdave]

That's our Cousin It.
Earns extra money mopping -
impaled on a stick.

[Lake]

impaled on a stick
and submerged deep in hot oil
delicious corn dogs

[kozmikdave]

delicious corn dogs
dismember child's corn dolly -
incur vodon wrath.

[juliadebeauvoir]

Incur vodon wrath,
now George is a pin cushion,
cheated on a witch.
