Haiku

[Mocca]

Here's another one of those perplexing questions that the General Board is famous for.

If you don't know what a haiku is or how it should sound, should you show your ignorance by having a dud one in your signature?

I'm pretty sure Haiku was originally called King Tonga on the wrestling.

See, I'm not ignorant of other cultures.

 

[Rohan_]

It's Japanese.

 

[kuepper]

I like the Haiku
It can be very bad or wrong
and still make me smile.

Actually, you are correct Jimmy.

I much preferred the King Tonga incarnation.

Well, that's cleared that up, then.

My Haiku to Haku

I like King Haku
his 'fro was very big and dark
his feet could hurt bad

 

[kuepper]

Rohan has no clue
His haiku is both bad and stupid
We all laugh at him.

Haiku writing's tough
Hard to count the syllables
Have to take shoes off

 

[Mocca]

You boys are so cruel
Making fun of Rohan_ so
But it's so funny!

 

[Captain Random]

Is "Rohan_" two or three syllables? That underscore is confusing.

 

[Mocca]

I've had arguments with my nerd friends about such things (my nerd friends don't read BigFooty, so I'm safe in that description).

I was once called to task for using a contraction. Including "We'd" in a haiku was deemed to be cheating by said nerd friends.

Also, haiku - two syllables or three? I'm led to believe that the Japanese pronunciation is ha-i-ku.

 

[Captain Random]

My name is Rohan_
I have famous relatives
Sex - overrated?

 

[kuepper]

I think haiku is
two syllables but then again
me not japanese.

 

[Mocca]

Ah, I like it crank.

How 'bout a rhyming haiku?

Rohan wishes he
Could be a sniper like me
Somewhat unlikely

 

[kuepper]

Hmmm, stepping up a notch I see - rhyming indeed.

coventary name
used by rohan such a shame
parents to take blame.

Can we hire some short people for the coronation ceremony?

For you "bob"

 

[Captain Random]

Five, seven and five!
Can't make it clearer than that.
What the hell is wrong?
