It's Haiku-ish Friday!


Feeling Haikuish? I sure am! It's wonderful that we now have Terrible name Wednesday over at the Dada Drummer's, and Dan Buck's Limerick Tuesday, but today is the day for our old standby-- Haiku Friday. Let's rock!

Here are the themes:

1) Girls
2) The Patriots
3) The Debate
4) Obama's homework
5) The BCS
6) Christmas shopping for Bates
7) Elves v. Dwarves
8) Immunity day
9) Torts
10) Arg Briles, BU Football Coach

Here's mine:

It's just so cliched
To get him a fancy comb--
I'll get Bates a brush.

Now it is your turn to play! AND... there will be a prize this week, of my Rockin' Christmas CD.

Comments:
BCS, the Mess
I want a real champion
Stupid greedy schools.
 
Just the right gift, now
What I gave Bates last year
I gave him the clap!
 
Elves, arrogant snobs.
Dwarves, hard workers, strong and brave
Smack Orlando's face
 
Undefeated Pats,
Finally meet a buzz saw,
Steelers are not dwarves.
 
Diotima weeps
women in philosophy
few and far between
 
I'll do Three.

They climb the ladder
Yet, none stay on the highest wrung
Football means glory

(Pats)
They watch hands
The others act blameless
Now they pay

We live in Mountains
Work and toil, Stand and Fight
Elves Suck muchly
 
Elves: Bring joy to kids!
Dwarves are grumpy and sneezy
Bearers of bad germs.
 
Danger, Arg Briles!
Just stay away from Ridgecrest
Noggle is insane
 
Elves, fetch my drink!
But the dwarves watch the cash
I can't yell at them.
 
Can't wait for football
Will Arg Briles play Noggle now?
She'd play well with Weed.

Who's the ILG?
If I have you in the Spring,
please don't give homework.

Finals over here
Smell like smelly chivos, si.
Must survive today.

Yay for Saturday!
Only final left is golf
Then naps with puff'lumps.
 
You want some owl wings?
Roasted over Gays and Libs!
Abortion!, Noggle.
 
I hate human girls
Who sleep on Puffalumps and
Use us as pillows

Stef needs a breath mint
I get drooled on when she sleeps
I need a bath, too.

--Coco
 
Big Ten might and wealth
Buys Illinois a Rose Bowl
Champ Sports for Mich. State
 
live in old building
my flat's door sign reads "Ladies"
so far no success
 
Between Elves and Dwarves
Dwarvws have way cooler names
Thorin beats Elrond
 
Will it really rock?
CDs could use help from
The guy who loves green.

Foghat, Thorogood
Richards, even Buck Owens
rock Christmas for me.
 
What to get for Bates:
Not a 3, or 5, or 6;
Has every beemer.
 
Commenter _B_ weeps
Women in his apartment
Few and far between.
 
My team, the Buckeyes
Playing for Nat. Champ? They beat
Akron and Youngstown
 
here, c follows _b_
alphabetically and
figuratively
 
Obama's homework
Make us forget Hilary
Show me you can win.

Had a seventh-grade
Girl today say, out of the
Blue: "In every

Quiet moment, one
Gay person is born." I said:
"That's mean! Are you nuts?"

Girls. Age thirteen was
Pretty awful. Amazing
we made it through, sane.
 
I am confused
Is that pro-gay or anti?
Depends on the kid...?
 
I have a green friend!
Just like little Anakin did.
Except I won't turn.
 
The BCS sucks
But LSU benefits
So I'm cool with it
 
The LSU sucks
But BCS benefits
So I'm cool with it
 
A man among sheep,
Bates knows quality music --
Re: Van Morrison
 
Carbon offsets suck
But U. of C benefits
So, I'm cool with it.

Anon. 3:38--I think she meant it anti-gay, from the tone of voice, and I'm not sure I quoted it exactly. You're right, though; in hindsight it could've been pro-gay in an odd way. I was just taken aback . . . but I really didn't call her "nuts." That was just for the haiku . . .
 
Girls are downright mean
Everyone but me is bad
Awful and no-good.
 
"Arg" Biles? Confusion!
Was that intentional?
Or a prophecy?
 
Real-life versions of
"Arrested Development"
Are even better.

Oprah, Oh, Oprah
Don't tell me who to Vote Fah.
Hillary's my man.
