Haiku Train

[pseud]

a fortune on flesh
I'm bankrupt on bones: shouldn't
play so games of craps

[Jester]

Play some games of crap -
the winnings are excrement -
waste your life away!

Doh

[twoleftfeet]

Play so games of craps? (WTF?)
Americans games end up
with an all-in scrap

Damn!

[kozmikdave]

with an all-in scrap
to add to her collection
her book was now complete

[Jester]

Her book was now complete,
extra syllable and all.
The maths teacher grinned.

[kozmikdave]

The maths teacher grinned
Oh Fuck! Who taught him to count?
Now he is exposed.

[Jester]

Now he is exposed
in front of all the children.
Someone call the cops!

[juliadebeauvoir]

Someone call the Cops!
That guy just stole my wallet!
Ha! Nothin' in it!

[Jester]

"Ha! Nothin' in it!"
said the boy, squeezing her breast
as he drank his Coke.

[barrie]

"Ha! Nothing in it"
said Bush, about the tale that
his head was empty.

[Jester]

His head was empty
as he drank his Coke; ice cold
cubes fell from his mouth

[barrie]

Cubes fell from his mouth
in Picasso's vivid dreams -
Cubism was born!

[Jester]

Cubism was born
and the midwife wanted to
throw it down the sluice

[pseud]

throw it down the sluice
apologies for my last
attempt at (a) haiku.

[Jester]

Attempt at haiku
by all means, but leave a line
that can be followed.




I've had my share of slips on here

[juliadebeauvoir]

That can be followed?
I'm not following at all,
I just jumped in here.

[Jester]

I just jumped in here
and he jumped out in China -
that's cause and effect

[kozmikdave]

that's cause and effect
‘cause we imagine just how
effective it is

[Jester]

Effective it is!
Your deodourant stinks but
I don't smell sweat now

[pseud]

I don't smell sweat now.
I smell cheese. And bad water.
The septic tank cracked.

[barrie]

The septic tank cracked
and the smell travelled the Earth,
and the filth soaked deep.

[pseud]

and the filth soaked deep
the ocean's diarea
"all the world's a butt."

[Jester]

All the world's a butt -
no wonder I'm talking shit;
pass me the powder.

[kozmikdave]

pass me the powder
and a rolled up fifty quid -
makes my nose smell good

[barrie]

Makes my nose smell good -
But can the nose smell itself?
And can the nose tell?
