Haiku Train

[Jester]

...and put that fag out!
You know he keeps dipping in
the shopping we buy

[juliadebeauvoir]

The shopping we buy,
some people lift their shopping.
Those sticky fingers.

We call it shoplifting here. I think you call it nicked or filched.

[Jester]

Those sticky fingers
are bound to smear stuff on the
clear glass in the doors.

[barrie]

Clear glass in the doors,
brown and green glass on the bar,
shaped like beer bottles.

[Jester]

Shaped like beer bottles -
with a parallel bottom
and elephant legs

[barrie]

...and elephant legs
look OK on elephants.
You need to diet.

[Jester]

"You need to diet."
said the harvest spider to
the tarantula.

[barrie]

The tarantula,
hairy theraphosidae,
a nasty biter.

[Jester]

A nasty biter
bit that butt, but bit that bit
that bat bit back there.

[barrie]

That bat bit back - there
just inside the cave, can you
see the little sod?

[Jester]

See the little sod
sucking sambuca from a
holy sweaty sock

[barrie]

Holy sweaty sock!
Judas Priest due for defrock.
Say ten Hail Mary's.

[Jester]

Say, ten Hail Marys
called today with bless-ed fruits
in virginal wombs

[pseud]

in virginal wombs
it is very cramped, that's what
I read in the book.

[barrie]

In virgin wombs,
is a green hill far away.
That's wrong, isn't it?

shit

[barrie]

That's wrong, isn't it?
All of that gobbledegook
I read in the book.

[Jester]

I read in the book
of Genesis that God made
Earth in seven days

[barrie]

'Earth in seven days' -
Claimed the travel agents of
Alpha Centauri.

[Jester]

"Alpha Centauri!"
cried Dr. Smith, "That's the place
we should be heading."

[barrie]

"We should be heading
away from the edge." said the
sensible lemming

[Jester]

Sensible lemming -
nicked that kid's glider and flew
away with his mate.

[barrie]

away with his mate
he had a nice holiday
at home with his wife

[vesuvius]

at home with his wife
spider playing cats cradle
waits to be eaten

[pseud]

"waits to be eaten"
its in my job description
I wish I could fly...

[barrie]

Waits to be eaten
by the newly converted,
and simmers gently.
