Haiku Train

[barrie]

'Previous haiku'
could be one that's still to come.
Which way time's arrow?

[Jester]

Which way time's arrow?
Which wood would you use if the
brewer let you choose.

[barrie]

Brewer let you choose?
Do you mean Bill Brewer from
Uncle Tom Cobbly?

The Communist Haiku

Uncle Tom Cobbly
displaced Uncle Sam - just wait
for Uncle Karl!

[Bombadil]

For Uncle Karl Marx
a smouldering samovar
could light up the night.

[barrie]

Could light up the night,
but couldn't light up the day.
Blue moon, you left me.

[Jester]

Blue moon, you left me
rubbing my eyes, these Es are
quite a surprise, you..

[barrie]

Quite a surprise you
leaving a crappy first line.
Is it hell as like.

[pseud]

is it hell as like
war is hell on a human
scale, we weigh our souls

[barrie]

Scale - we weigh our souls.
Scale - balance them well against
the Feather of Truth.

[Jester]

Scale, we weigh our souls
in kill-o-grams whilst watching
tons of victims rise

Buggarbumbitchbastardbollocks

[barrie]

Tons of victims rise,
hope Mick won't butt in this time -
Getting out of sync.

[pseud]

getting out of sync,
Justin Timberlake master
bates- hook, line, singer

[barrie]

Bates hook, line, singer,
catches big fat, scaly bass,
just in Timbuctoo.

[twoleftfeet]

Justin Timbuctoo,
at the Waterloo crossroads,
went down on his knees

[barrie]

Went down on his knees,
begged for mercy. The king said
"Get up, you big tart!"

[Jester]

Get up, you big tart!
It's so damn rude to lie and
fart in solitude.

[barrie]

"Fart in solitude"
Wandered silent as a fart
that breaks so lonely.

[Jester]

That break's so lonely,
and awkward to follow from.
Your retribution?

[barrie]

Your retribution?
My retribution - I'll take
a contribution!

[Jester]

A contribution
in confucian form might say
"Man with hole in pale..."

[barrie]

Man with hole in pale
cannot hope to spell bucket.
Paleface speak fork-tongued.

[Jester]

Paleface speak fork-tongued.
Dark face speak unernlightened.
What are we to do?

[juliadebeauvoir]

What are we to do,
with tripping, quipping forked tongues?
