Haiku Friday: Ping Pong!
Today I am participating in the St. Thomas Ping Pong Smackdown, a four week ordeal of grueling matches which extend for days.
My first round opponent is, oddly, razorite and last week's haiku champion, S. I'm not sure how that happened, but it's good news for her because I am really bad at ping-pong. I also don't have any idea when or where we are playing, so it may be even easier than she thinks.
So, let's haiku about ping pong and any other basement-type games you like-- pool, air hockey, Ms. Pac Man, whatever. Here is mine:
Let go of the paddle
It flew, fast and true, into
Into Tom Brooke's head.
Now it is your turn. If your 5 syllable/7 syllable/5 syllable poem is judged superior to all others, you will win your more-or-less accurate biography here on Monday! Now do it!

A large oak table
twentyfive cent piece in hand
one bounce, clink, sploosh, drink
to our amazement
our accuracy improved
as the night progressed

Saw through Ms Pac-Man's
ulterior motive:
woo girls to gaming.
But played Ms Pac-Man
obsessively. Loved to chomp
up those blinking dots.

"You're toast", "In my dust",
"I could do this one handed",
Trash talk, simple joy.
Osler says he's bad,
I say I'm worse, being right
makes Ping Pong loser

Renee - I'm kind of favoring Anon 9:56 and the Medievalist.
The Osler's basement
A journey into the dark
kittie eyes stared back
~*~*~
dark, dank, unfinished
so utilitarian
teenage haven, not

Like pursuit trivial...or
Lush convivial!
The night Rock beat Toni
At Monoply,folks snoozed.
Clunk! board grazed his head.
