Haiku Mayhem Friday!



First off, thanks to RRL for hosting Political Mayhem yesterday. Next week: Lane! And perhaps the week after that, the Waco Farmer...

If you see me at some point today and I seem kind of cranky, it's because I can't eat all day due to some medical tests at 4 pm. I'm big on feasting but not so much on fasting, so this will be a real challenge. Of course the students whose moot court round I judged today seemed to think I was pretty cranky already...

Here are this week's topics:

1) Bosniacs
2) Baylor v. Oklahoma
3) Jack White (of the White Stripes)
4) Lemmy (of Motorhead)
5) Stevie Ray Vaughn or any other guitarist
6) Raffi
7) Mavericks! (Dallas or otherwise)
8) The Devil Rays... in the playoffs?
9) Moot Court
10) The bailout vote (pt. 2)

Here is mine:

Run, Baylor Guys, Run!
No, the other way... oh, snap!
That will leave a mark.

Now it is your turn...

Comments:
Bosniac is the
correct term for Bosnians
of the Muslim faith.

Moot court has begun.
Wait! I never conceded
that specific point!

Stevie Ray's talent
changed the world of blues guitar
Texas Flood's his best.
 
Oklahoma, where
Where the wind comes sweeping down
Wiping Baylor out.
 
Upon reflection
All my courting has been moot;
Winter approaches.
 
We are mavericks!
Well, ya know, follower types
So vote for us now!

Tampa Bay Rays say
There are no devils in sight
only dirty Sox

Fans in Tampa Bay
Like washing dirty White Sox
Game 1 done, Rays win!

October baseball
The windy city awaits
While Rays fans are hot
 
No more Devil Rays?
One less satanic franchise--
Next, Oakland Raiders?
 
We miss Underwood
Not the new one, the old one,
Couldn't we have both?
 
I had Underwood.
Not the new one, the old one.
Awe inspiring.
 
Comfortably Numb.
Hear the dying Pink Floyd Sound.
Gilmour at his best.
 
October tests cast
shadow on season of joy
Love will banish gloom
 
Adorable gal
While she may not have my vote
She captured my heart


Dang right, t'was a tie
But ties go to the maverick
Say it ain't so, Joe.
 
We get to haiku
about Lemmy! Metal god
and hero to all.

When Motorhead moves
in next door to you, your lawn
dies. How cool is that.

Ace of Spades, greatest
song of all time? Probably
not, but it does rule!
 
Devil Rays are like
Browns, Pilots, Senators
and Colt Forty Fives
 
Whatever the score
Oklahoma still blows goats
Sic 'em, Baylor Bears!
 
You betcha Putin.
Like you, self-expand power.
Constitution? huh??
 
The Tampa Bay Rays
Play in a big ugly dome
But way fun to watch.
 
Yesterday night, this
Cute lady winked at me
She was on TV!
 
Oblique poetry
Never much appealed to me
Why not just be clear?

Now I face crisis
Word pictures from my heart soothe
Thanks, Mr. Osler.
 
Lost My Wallet. Crap.
Been looking for a week. HELP!!!!
Need stuff for tax guy.

Called everywhere I
was. No one has seen it. It
is unique looking:

Has Bob the Builder
Guy attached to it. Spencer's
gift. Seen Bob? Call me.
 
Amy the Dawg made a
snack of Piglet, Elmo toys.
Who is next to die?

Poor Piglet, lying
headless, unstuffed on front porch.
MMMM. Toys R Delicious.
 
I'm gonna set it
off. Seven nation army
Couldn't hold me back.
 
Jonny Marr unique
Townshend most entertaining
Belue: twang bar king
 
I wanna play bass
In my dreams . . . in a forty-
Something chick band. Yeah.
 
Check the Razor, each
night before bedtime to see
topic discussion

Political Thurs.,
Haiku Fridays, Arts and Crafts
Need more recipes.

Rants we have, repress'd
memories as well. Decor?
Lively posts, all.


Mrs. CL
 
Swissgirl on the bass:
"She stood just like Bill Wyman"
from Smithereens song
 
Not inspired now,
My haiku breaks down badly,
Where is my old muse?
 
Addendum: I found
my Bob the Builder Wallet.
Spencer hid it then forgot.
