Haiku question for Friday: How long, exactly, should I rock and roll?


This is kind of embarrassing, but in 1978, I thought the tagline of this song was "I want to rock and roll all night... and partly every day." Let's face it, that just makes more sense. It's basically impossible to rock and roll all night and party every day. You won't get the basics in life, like sleep.

Of course, I also thought at one point that professional wrestling was real, and worried about people getting hurt.

Today's haiku theme, then, is misheard phrases. Or the inauguration, or perhaps bad highs school High-ku (as Jessica called it)-- you choose.

Here is mine:

Chief Justice Roberts
Tried to repair a badly split
Infinitive: Oops.

Comments:
Tiny piano
Needs to be played, ask genie
Now, I am accursed.
 
Inauguration
Two: Electric Boogaloo.
Roberts, get it right.
 
Still don't understand
the lyrics to Nirvana
"the fall, sell my shirt?!?"
 
"He's got the whole world
In his pants" - Why would God put
The world in his pants???
 
Why did we all sing
"Hark, Harold the Angel sings"
And who is Harold?
 
Lindsay Bluth says, "Beeds."
Gob hears "Bees," and gets upset.
You have to see it...
 
"Uncle Joe forgot to
Cut the cake?"-- Bob Seger. Oh!
I heard it right, then.
 
Beeds/Bees is indeed
AD at it's very best
Why is Gob so mad?

Lucille says it's 'cause
they don't allow bees in here
Gob just needs to learn.
 
Purple Haze is great
But I wonder why Hendrix
Wants to "kiss this guy?"
 
Gob was strangely mad.
I guess I'll just bzzzz along.
My sides are hurting.
 
"There's a Girl, My Lord
In a Bright Red Ford, Slowin..."
OH WAIT, "Flat Bed Ford"
 
Jimmy Hendrix Sings
"'Scuse me while i kiss this guy"
(shrug) it was the 70's
 
Chief Justice Roberts,
already conjugated,
so no splitting foul
 
Uncle Joe AFRAID
to cut the cake. Don't know what
the fear stems from though.

We're an American band.
We'll Come into your town. We'll
help you Party Down.

"Purple Hay's All up
in my barn:"Ways that Bill's friends
change some lyrics. GAWD.

There is NOTHING more
ANNOYING than some guitar
players with no gigs.

I hate the phone co.
They suck. Suck suck suck suck suck
They blew up my house.
 
How did they HAIKU
in Japan? They have no real
syllables, do they?
 
"And I speak, of the
Pompitous of lo-ove": What
song was that? Weird words.
 
"I'm a loser, I'm a
Cruiser, I'm a midnight bruiser?"
Same song . . .is that right?
 
AC/DC...in
Dallas...tonight!! Gonna rock
all night!! Or, partly.
 
Roberts' gaff was bad
But no worse than some of his
Decisions, children.
RFDIII
 
James Bond in a song
Knows not his ethnicity.
Secret Asian man.
 
Misheard lyrics: "I
can teach ya private rumba,
baby" -Dead/Alive.

(Actual line: "I could trace your private number, baby")

I still like my lyrics better...
 
No Haiku this week
To much sadness in my life
Perhaps time will heal

Florida bound in
the morning. Snow bird traffic
Wish I could just fly


Roberts is human
He couldn't remember the
Presidential oath
 
I chose High School HIgh-Ku:

Hid in the bathroom
Heard them making fun of me
I hope they're fat now!
 
First taste of 6th Street.
Bryan Adams from Austin?
My verse is better I think.
 
Never understood
Anything Morrison did sing,
Refrigerator.
 
"Blinded by the light
"Wrapped up like a douche..." can't be!
What could those words be?
