Haiku Train

[twoleftfeet]

Water and ducks' backs,
Stetsonned 2-Jags fat cowboy
casino dabbling

[barrie]

casino dabbling,
range riding and lassooing
all unbranded perks.

[twoleftfeet]

All unbranded perks
are rounded up, held offshore
by the Loan Ranger*


* now a job share currently shared by Peter Mandelson,Tessa Jowell and Lord Levi.

[barrie]

'By the Loan Ranger',
an autobiography
of a right pillock.

[Jester]

of a right pillock,
left pillock - they're all the same -
grab from the same pot.

[barrie]

Grab from the same pot,
slurp from the same hidden trough -
The stench still escapes.

[ennui]

The stench still escapes
clenched teeth and lips clamped over-
it seeps through the cracks.

[Jester]

The stench still escapes -
eau de 1984 -
Beeb governers too

[Jester]

Beeb governers too -
must be doing something right.
Still raking it in

[barrie]

Still raking it in,
tabloid hacks digging up shit
for gourmet readers.

[juliadebeauvoir]

For gourmet readers,
monkey brain stew on menu,
Rain Forest Cafe.

[barrie]

Rain Forest Cafe -
Soya produce charcoal grilled;
firewood for sale.

...........

that's fiyerwood, not fahrwood.

[juliadebeauvoir]

Fiyerwood for sale,
chicken eggs laid yesterday,
Wisconsin staples.

[barrie]

Wisconsin staples
are where Wisconsin bonies
are fed and watered.

[juliadebeauvoir]

Are fed and watered,
at "Golden Corral" buffet,
for "all you can eat."

[barrie]

For 'All you can eat',
there's always the opposite -
'Nowt you can't throw up.'

[Jester]

Nowt you can throw up
like alcohol binging on
antiemetics

[barrie]

anti-emetics
just make me want to throw up.
Something's not quite right.

[twoleftfeet]

Something's not quite right?
If your name is Twoleftfeet
What can you expect?

[barrie]

What can you expect
a politician to be -
A philanthropist?

[Jester]

A philanthropist?
a contradiction in terms -
chalk and cheddar...yes?

[barrie]

chalk and cheddar yes -
cheddar cheese is worth a yes,
you can have the chalk.

[pseud]

you can have the chalk
and you can talk whenever
when you're the teacher

[Jester]

when you're the teacher,
not the beseecher, you can
wear what you like too

[barrie]

When you're the teacher
you can forget the apples -
think about the trees
