Haiku Train

[Elphin]

Darts into a sea
have come far from the Lakeside.
Must be strong feathers.

[kozmikdave]

Must be strong feathers
that take a man to the sun.
Fire proofing would help.

[Travis]

Fire proofing would help,
though it's probably best to
refrain from lighting.

[Elphin]

Refrain from lighting -
Come on baby light my fire
Is that a chorus?

[kozmikdave]

Is that a chorus?
Birds shouting at me at dawn -
"Time to go to bed!"

[juliadebeauvoir]

"Time to go to bed!"
Said Mother to wayward kids.
They snuck out at night.

[kozmikdave]

They snuck out at night,
snicking, snacking and snogging
with the shadow gang.

[Travis]

With the shadow gang
I run, painting it all red,
the whole bloody town.

[Lake]

the whole bloody town
a heartbreaking memory –
the Rape of Nanjing

[Elphin]

the Rape of Nanjing
is yellower than grown here.
A stereotype?

[kozmikdave]

A stereotype?
Originality in
parallel life plane.

[juliadebeauvoir]

parallel life plane:
I look like Salma Hayek,
money of Bill Gates.

[barrie]

money of Bill Gates
and the sense of a bi-valve
economic boom

[Elphin]

economic boom -
is sound of bubble bursting
from much inflation.

[Lake]

from much inflation
my paycheck fast deflated
eyes close on coupons

[barrie]

Eyes close on coupons -
Yes, even coupons have eyes.
Isn't science great?

[Lake]

Isn't science great?
Fish fly, birds swim; spiders weave
thoughts on WWW

[juliadebeauvoir]

Thoughts on WWW,
enunciate wa, wa, wa.
Babbling such nonsense.

[barrie]

Babbling such nonsense
was a way of life for George:
his brain cell's damaged.

[Elphin]

his brain cell's damaged
rattling around all alone
in whisky and coke

[Lake]

in whisky and coke
Li Po is confused; his verse
turns to avant-garde

[juliadebeauvoir]

Turns to avant-garde;
she is so Bohemian,
disdains bourgeoise.

[kozmikdave]

Disdains bourgeoise,
Abhors proletariat,
Lives high on Welfare.

[juliadebeauvoir]

Lives high on Welfare;
Government peanut butter
in deluxe white cans.


In the U.S. Welfare is like the Dole. They would pass out Government Peanut butter and huge blocks of Velveeta Cheese the size of your head.

[Travis]

In deluxe white cans,
recycled animals are
about to be served.
