Haiku Train

[barrie]

Rising from your brain,
ideas crowd on your head
and slide down your back.

[juliadebeauvoir]

Rising from your brain
the smoke circling your pate,
nuerons rapid fire.


(Midwest dialect says fi-er--two syllables. But I trust that your accent will consider this one syllable!)

[Jester]

nuerons rapid fire
sparks off strange behavior in
all those hot places






In my locality most people pronounce it "Fiya"

[barrie]

All those hot places,
oppressive, stifling spaces
where brimstone bubbles.

[Jester]

Where brimstone bubbles
it's a devil of a job
to keep a cool head

[barrie]

To keep a cool head -
refrigerate the bugger.
Use within three days.

[Jester]

Use within three days
of opening - brains are best
served fresh on hot toast

[pseud]

served fresh on hot toast
Bacon, Eggs, Bacon, and Spam
Spam, Green Eggs and Ham

[Jester]

Spam, Green Eggs and Ham
create sulphur dioxide
when mixed with acid.

[barrie]

When mixed with acid
human brains act quite strangely.
I.....Did you see that?

[Jester]

I.....Did you see that?
A small brown loaf, a flash of
American teeth.

[barrie]

American teeth?
No, it's just smarmy Tony
lunching with Georgie.

[Jester]

Lunching with Georgie
cyclops might send him cross-eyed -
put him off eating.

[barrie]

Put him off eating -
tell him the meat's going bad,
or just pick your nose!

[Jester]

Or just pick your nose -
there are many to chose from -
big ones, Roman ones....

[barrie]

Big ones, Roman ones,
Anglo-Saxon ones, Viking,
and of course, Norman.

[Jester]

and of course, Norman,
your nose is as straight as they
come in Great Britain

[pseud]

come to Great Britain,
where the red soldiers stand and
never, ever move.

[Jester]

never, ever move
the stylus across the groove -
it scratches records

[pseud]

it scratches records
when you launch them in the air
they are not frisbees

[barrie]

They are not frisbees,
they are alien space-ships
from minature worlds.

[pseud]

from miniature worlds
come miniature people, some
people call them dwarves

[barrie]

People call them dwarves,
Irish call them leprechauns,
or just short-arses.

[kozmikdave]

Aw, just short arses
everyone knows short people
cannot be trusted

[Jester]

Cannot be trusted?
Back to the politicians -
backs to the wall, lads.
