Limericks? Nah, Haiku!

Post by djwesp »

So, a very cheapo Haiku generator popped this out today. Recollecting how well the limericks went... I thought I'd share my horrible haiku.

Haha, that's a good one!

Maybe I'll quit this 2ba playing stuff and get to where the really expression is at...


pedals ring in air
ding of mouthpiece on the floor
the hand is given

Haiku to fragile
Takes limericks to really
drive down the point home.

There once was a tubist named Earl
Who played his horn like a girl
But it wasn't his fault
You see he got caught
In the sack with a flautist named Pearl

Instead of talking to your plants, if you yelled at them would they still grow, but only to be troubled and insecure?

One a friend scribbled out for me earlier in the summer:

Alas, I find my grill cold.

There once was a 'netter name Scooby
Who acted a bit of a booby
He shut down our thread
Said it was done--dead
And deprived us of laughs on the tube-y
