Haiku Train

[barrie]

Know which side to sit?
Of course I bloodywell know -
Is it on the left?

[twoleftfeet]

Is it on the left?
You must be joking, pal,if
you mean New Labour

[Jester]

You mean New Labour -
the tories that dress in red.
Politicians suck.

[barrie]

Politicians suck -
Well we know that's what they do,
they lick and crawl too.

[k-j]

Politicians suck,
so please let's have some haiku
about something else.

[Jester]

"They lick and crawl too
much." said Clinton "Relations
you say? Get away!"

Give us a subject kid

[k-j]

You say 'Get away!'
'It's true,' I say. 'My mother
is a mastodon.'

[barrie]

Is a mastadon
a bloody great elephant
or a septic growth?

[Jester]

or a septic growth?
Mastadon it differently
when you were at school.

[barrie]

When you were at school
you all wrote on wax tablets,
in XIII AD.

[Bombadil]

In XIII AD
I dreamed I saw Augustine,
I put him to death.

[barrie]

I put him to death
by playing Val Doonican
over and over......

[pseud]

over and over...
and then mixing it up with
twang: Tammy Wynette.

[k-j]

Twang Tammy Wynette,
roger Kenny Rogers, kiss
Kris Kristofferson.

[Jester]

Kris Kristofferson -
The silver tongued devil and
I like this old road

[barrie]

I like this old road,
I know every bump on it,
because I caused them.

[Jester]

Because I caused them,
they effected and thereby
perpetuated

[barrie]

perpetuated
and forever standing still.
Doesn't it drag on?

[twoleftfeet]

Doesn't it drag on?
No way - dragons may belch fire
but dragons don't smoke

[barrie]

But dragons don't smoke?
You're wrong, I know one who does -
The mother-in-law.

[Jester]

The mother-in-law
always has one in her claws -
usually two.

[barrie]

Usually two -
The answer to one plus one.
Can never be sure.

[Jester]

Can never be sure
if I'm indecisive or
very forgetful.

[barrie]

Very forgetful,
I tend to use mnemonics
when I remember.

[juliadebeauvoir]

When I remember....
wait...what did I say again?
Hey, do I know you????
