Haiku by Jacob Hibel
Cowboy boots and shorts Would be my ideal wardrobe My knees would stay cool I'll build some ice-stairs and dare you to skate down them What are you, chicken? If we lived in holes Basements would be redundant And doors wouldn't work With a pile of bricks I could build myself a house A dangerous one This bent paper clip Might fit in the wall outlet Who wants to find out? Deep within the couch There lies a dark mystery Best to leave it there |
Limerick by Jim Susinno
I say nuts to your jackets and suits; I wear short shorts and tall leather boots. I may look like a fool, But my knees will stay cool - A bottom line no one disputes. I once built an ice covered stair - to descend it no sane man would dare. You'd slip, lose your grip, Bust a lip, break a hip, and be stabbed by the ice skate you'd wear. If people in holes could be found, then dirt we would see all around. Our basements would be gone 'cause we'd already be on the floor of the house below ground. Four walls and a roof o'er my head and a place for my toilet and bed Made from just bricks With nothing that sticks It would fall on me, then I'd be dead. This paper clip has been bent with somewhat suicidal intent. Take it out of my pocket, put it into the socket and witness a shocking event! Inside my couch theres a prize - it lurks right there under my thighs. but it doesnt feel right to bring it to light, so for now it will stay where it lies. |
Haiku of Jacob Hibel:
Haiku flows from me like urine after 6 beers. They call me Jacob. I just ate nachos The sticky plastic cheez goo Is stuck in my beard That last sip of milk Should never have crossed my lips. Soon it will again. O, grease in belly O profound settling force seems wrong - but feels right. An unskipped pebble plunges headlong into gloom as if it were called The turtle's hard shell Could not withstand the sedan But was it meant to? Telephone in hand We can achieve no closeness Of the type they knew Inside a coiled tube Where there is no beginning We approach the end |
More Limerick by Jim
All the half-assed haikus that I make come out sounding a little half-baked. But make no mistake, my friend is no fake - In haiku form, Jake takes the cake. If time flowed from future to past and things went by equally fast we'd eat poop through our butts as we grew down, not up 'til we turned into jism at last.Ode to Ouroboros There once was a serpent most queer In his mouth he inserted his rear. As he ate his own ass he diminished in mass and proceeded to just disappear. To program in a manner thats terse try to think of the code in reverse. Just solve in one place for the case that's the base and for all other input, recurse. |
The system is rife with corruption and imperfect... But if it saves one life - will it have been worth it? Give all your friends your fondest thought, but give no help where it's not sought. Take honor with ardor, but not to your head - let it go to your heart instead. Nevermind the cost We will do what must be done Then regret the loss. Let the games begin He who falls and lags behind Digs an early grave. |
These are just some sentences I like: Human beings are each born with one wing. Privilege just means you're expected to do less. We all urinate on American Standards every day. Being a mortician is like being a doctor with none of the pressure. Life grows. I wear so many masks on top of masks... one day i came home and took off one too many. Do you love love? Do you hate hate? Is it possible to create destruction - by destroying creation? What is is. |
