hubris:  the haiku series

You can’t really doubt

my superiority,

can you? Please.  Get real.

****

It’s not that I can’t

hear you, buddy.  It’s that I

choose to ignore you.

****

AS A CITIZEN

JOURNALIST, I DEMAND YOU

BRING ME ONION RINGS!

****

    “More Pie!” he bellowed,

    And the waitstaff moved quickly

    To fill his gullet

    Back in the kitchen:

    “Damn citizen journalist,

    I’ll piss in his pie!”

  2. JD says:

    “Journalistic pie…”

    The kitchen makes special pie

    with lots of toe cheese.

    All the better to

    chase down the fresh parmesan

    dipped onion rings.

    But that is when it

    all came to a screeching end;

    Angioplasty.

  3. Sean M. says:

    Does the CITIZEN

    JOURNALIST pie come with a

    Scoop of free ice cream?

    Another question:

    Are we talking rhubarb pie?

    ‘Cause you know, fuck that.

    Mincemeat is also

    Right out because that stuff is

    Just nasty, you know?

  4. Jay says:

    I wanted to write

    A truely great haiku but

    I can’t count.

  5. McGehee says:

    All my haiku attempts

    Seem to end up as

    Limericks and vice versa.

    See…?

  6. Sean M. says:

    Five syllables, and

    Then seven, then five again.

    Try to work in pie.

  7. Matt says:

    Seriously guys…

    You must have better things to

    do than write haikus.

  8. Sean M. says:

    Matt, you have got no

    Idea how little my

    Time is really worth.

    [sob]

  9. kyle says:

    Oh how I love pie

    Sweet, sweet, tangy – what? No not

    that! Well yes, that too.

    Humble Pie

    “Ain’t no Rice pudding

    like my lily white mamas’!”

    bellowed Bobby Byrd.

    “Iraq is a mess!

    You need to clean it up, girl,”

    barked Boxer to her.
