ARE YOU READY FOR SOME.... HAIKU?



Oh, yes you are ready for some haiku. Oh, yeah. This week's prize is either last week's prize (the photo of two Baylor Law Professors in silly clothes) or maybe an evening at Chapter 11 with Bates and me. Actually, we put that for sale at a charity auction several years ago, and someone bought it for $75. The winner, a fetching humanities prof., did get her money's worth in red-hot intellectual badinage.

If you are a blogger, feel free to cross-blog; that is, put your haiku here and on your own blog.

The suggestion for this week is that you put at least one foreign word into your haiku, which still must follow the form of 5 syllables/7 syllables/5 syllables.

So, here is my haiku for the week:

Fahrenholdt told us
We must now call it "The Skunge,"
Not "marijuana."

[Note that I am counting "marijuana" as a foreign word, which I learned this week it truly is]

UPDATE: I see that the mention of Chapter 11 has generated some speculation. I suppose that whether that prize is available would depend on who the winner was. For example, if IPLawGuy wins (46-year-old partner at Holland and Knight), no problems. If Micah wins (5th grader), problem.

Comments:
Who gets to pick the prize and can we get rid of the "maybe"?
 
I saw good Prof. Bates
On TV tonight at ten
Baylor basketball
 
ged3-- you have to post it here, goofus.
 
Ok, I went over to GED3's place and retrieved his haiku:

Oh, back in the day
I knew then a nice frauleine,
Madame Sitzenfartz
 
It is "Bates and I"
Not "Bates and me," you bonehead
Get it right, already!

Don
 
Haiku is useless
you cannot convey meaning
in just so few words

"Haiku" itself is the foreign word
 
You need to get Prof Guinn to go too. He talks about Chapter 11 in class from time to time.
 
Does aloha count?
Hawaii part of U.S.
But its not English

What then is foreign?
Are we not a melting pot?
Would English then count?
 
[expletive] [censored]
Stubbed my toe on stairs again
Do Saxon words count?
 
Oui, c'est necessaire
Utiliser nouveaux mots
Cette semaine; c'est bon!
 
RG--

As I understand it, your haiku would translate to this:

By any means necessary
I will kill the new mime
And his Poodle, "Bon-Bon"

Is that pretty much it?
 
Guinn will write Haiku
When he sells all his guns and
Gehenna freezes
 
it's bowtie Friday
the ivory tower id
line up for remand

-B
 
Italian, Spanish
I speak none of which, but French
I know, au revoir.
 
Sorry, I got a little carried away with the foreign words. By the way, la amo is read as "lamo".

Por siempre quiero
Estar con mi familia.
Pues, la amo tanto
 
I'm dying to know who the mysterious "--B" is. He or she pens some serious haiku, and seems to be lodged in a law school or courthouse.
 
Wear lederhosen!
Oktoberfest is over
But they're quite slimming.

--JRH
 
Borat says hello:
"Jak sie masz!" Is nice, except
It's really Polish.

--JRH
 
Bates and his wild hair.
He's excitable, but not
A meshugine.

Vile armadillos!
Flying all around me now.
Land or I will shoot!

John Fogerty sang
Have You Ever Seen the Rain?
No. I was cloistered.
 
Morning sun so bright,
insuppressible reflex ...
Haiku! Gesundheit.
 
9:07 - Yes, yes, that's exactly it.

Carver should totally win. Becasue that's amazing.
 
Slave's subjugation.
Terror awakens conscience,
Zeitgeist realized.
 
Mon chat est perdu
C'est horible et mauvais
Aurora, come home!

Chapter Eleven
A great name for a tavern
They don't serve Framboise

I have mal de mer
Sitting and reading don't mix
In subway for me
 
IPLawGuy - I don't know if you can have seasickness on a subway, since that's kind of missing the 'mer' point of 'mal du mer.' Unless it's the Chunnel, I guess, because that's kind of a subway.

And unless maul du mer is the generic term for nausea,not just seasickness. I can't remember right now.
 
Dateline Ann Arbor
Bo Schembechler RIP
eleven-nine-and-one
 
It rains. I feel sad
that Bo has died, even though I live in Oregon.
 
Video duty
yet more pointless objections
thinking: seppuku.

I wonder about
the professors' stamina
an endless ordeal

Just one quarter left
then my nightmare is over
but then they repeat

I wonder how much
I would consider enough
to do this daily

Sitting here thinking:
if she objects one more time
I will lose my mind.
 
Mal de Mer indeed
Describes all motion sickness
c'est un catchall

Having said that, as a practicing attorney, I must bow in the direction of 3:27 anonymous and his/her final haiku regarding endless, meaningless objections. I have sat through way too many depositions where counsel for the witness drags out the process for no reason at all.

My only question is if 3:27 anonymous is taking the depo, or merely an observer. If taking, I'm impressed he/she could also compose Haiku... or was the Haiku inspired by a bad experience at another time?
 
IPLG,

I think 3:27 is in one of Baylor's practice court exercises.

-B
 
estoppel by deed
I purport to convey that
ennui overwhelms
 
As am I. And actually, mine is pretty good. I just saw a good direct and a good cross. Howza!
 
Tex-Mex fills my gut
margaritas, Coronas
Tia's tortillas
 
Au contraire, Anon:
Osler's usage--'Bates and me'--
Is correct. Object.
 
Uhhhhh--can't believe I'm quibbling over a virtual prize, but since y'all are lawyers, one technicality: Didn't I actually 'win' the photo of two Baylor law professors in crazy clothes? Now, I have no problem donating it for the haiku cause--I believe the spirit of the Razor would encourage generosity, and I support the sneaky Oslerian complexity of that choice--but, uh, remember the facts here.
 
Swissgirl--

Don't worry. I can print off another copy of the amusing and vaguely troubling photo of the Baylor Law Profs.
 
Osler's a re-gifter, huh? I'll bet that for Kwanzaa he gives me back that bread machine I gave him last year for his Bar Mitvah.

Haiku pre-empts law
While the blog spins ever upward
Stop the madness, guys!
 
wii, playstation 3
cut my legs off at the knee
empty cup for pee
 
Although I’m of the opinion that Carver has already won by a deciding margin, here’s my two cents for now:

Like Schwarzenegger,
Property tells the whole class:
Hasta la vista.

To Thomas my flu infested friend:

Don’t the French say “Wee”?
I thought we were Patriots?
Stand up for what’s right.
 
Bachelor party:
Give me naked midgets, or
Give me motorboats.

To impress ladies,
Play, "Come in Albuquerque."
Thanks for the tip, Dad.

I'll bio-outsource,
Get me some Chinese children.
I'm big in Japan.
 
Yay! New Puffalumps
Big fluffy fabulous lumps
Time for a long nap
 
From ged 3:
Is this Not Texas!
If Micah can reach the bar,
He can order a few beers.
My Reponse:
Just give me a break!
You know I share a state with
Minnesota Twins

Just go look at my
Profile, you will see that
I like Malt-O-Meal
 
I know it's late, but I have been otherwise occupied with professional medieval stuff, learning about torture and stuff.

Being bilingual,
Makes my life complicado,
Life is very good.

I consider the "gual" in bilingual to be one syllable--a dipthong, which is special underwear, illegal in McLennan county.
