Haiku time again,
I really enjoy this thread,
So, knock yourselves out!

Japanese poems,
They're quite easy to write, man
Just count syllables

I am here at night
Rarity for this penguin
But I found some time

Monkey! Monkey! Monk-
key! Monkey! Monkey! Monkey!
Monkey! Monkey! YEAH!!!!

Not too good at this
So I dive in and back out
Of this haiku thread.

I just had breakfast
Honeycomb sits well with me
Will leave for school now.

Good afternoon world
Or at least everywhere east
Of where I am now...

Dance! You got the chance!
Get Down Everybody...BASS!
How low can you go?

I can go quite low
Or maybe even lower
About this maybe

Bring tha Noize, philbo!  :)
You're a wiz at this haiku
I struggle sometimes

TVM, DJ
I like writing haiku, but
Prefer parodies

;-)

You are great at both
You have tremendous talent
I'm working on mine

'Tis beautiful day
In the neighborhood...would you
Be mine, my neighbor?  :)

Mister Rogers was
A wonderful role model
For me as a child :)

For me too, Rice Cube.
He will be terribly missed
RIP, neighbor. :'(

Nobody here now?
Or is there someone else who
Can still come on here?

Life has thrown some curves,
Lately they've been a plenty,
Yet life's worth living........

Wouldn't it be good
To earn ones wage from haiku
Programming pays more :-(

Try to combine both
Program C++ haiku
Djikstra would be proud!

That's where we started

Dread blue screen of death
General protection fault
Abort, retry, fail?

Somebody might have
Done that already but I
Thought it was funny :)

Windows died (again)
Three humble options remain
(R)eset (F)ail (G)o home

Linux ain't Windows.
If you want to try something
New, then go for it!

Too much work today
I could not post much haiku
My first one..for now

Nice to see you here,
Cool Mister DJ_Midas,
I need to go soon :-/

At the library!
I just LOVE the DSL,
Must go home soon though ::)

It's a brand new day!
I think I'm the only one
awake around here!  ::)

I am still awake
I did not get much sleep though
Night of the lastly.

Ouch!  Insomnia?
It's a real nasty disease
And I have it too!  :-/

I must sleep sometime
Zed Zed Zed Zed Zed Zed
Zed Zed Zed Zed Zed

Canadian Z's?
Be you from Canada, friend?
Someplace else perhaps?

Got no sleep last night
Things can only get better
It's good to be here  :)

Today's my birthday.
I want everyone to wish
Me a happy one!

Happy Birthday, Don.
Hope you're having a great day
See ya on the boards!  :D

Who would win this fight?
Monkey versus a penguin
It is a tough call

I say a monkey!
But that's just my opinion.
No offense penguins!  ;D

Ones, hmm? Just simply
Remember your favorite things
You won't feel so bad

Hospital last night,
Wish I could just get better,
Illness is a drag

I'm sorry, Mark, but
You missed my birthday which was
Yesterday.  Get well.

I'm SO sorry Don....
For me missing your birthday,
Happy Birthday, Don ;)

Get better soon, Mark.
I miss you on these here boards
Always make me smile.  :)

Must find a doctor,
That will accept Medicaid,
Or have a long wait :(

Sometimes when you have
An appointment very soon
They still make you wait

Sometimes when we touch
Honesty's too much and I
Have to close my eyes....

Quite profound, Rice Cube
It went right over my head
Could you explain please?

Can a Rice Cube melt?
Can Bill Tong carry hot coals?
Does Bobo know Burns? (Mr. Burns that is)

PoP made hunk
Her avatar, so I picked
A babe to be mine!

Man, Calvin and Hobbes
Never been a better strip
Why did they leave us?  :'(

You just can't drink it
Slow if it's Quik. Choc'late Milk
Will be gone real soon

Looks like everyone's
Been asleep for a few days
Long time no haiku!

Yet again it's saved,
From the bottom of page two,
Poor little haiku!  :(

Well long time no 'ku!  :D
Good to see this on page one
I will write more soon

Forty more minutes
Then I will grab me some lunch
What to have today?

Speedo Boy loves to
Do haiku too.  Would you please
Say hello to him?

Hello, Speedo Boy
You seem to pop up in lots
Of PBG threads

Speedo Boy are you
no longer a "Crazy Don"?
Why the sudden change?

Crazy Don never
Left.  He decided to bring
Alter ego here!  ;)

Now I wish I could
See CD's new avatar
Only a red 'x'

I can see no X
I can see the picture fine
Must be something wrong.

It must be near porn
Restricted access at work
So I don't see it

Pesky work computers
set with limitations
like we are children.  >:(

When I am elsewhere
I can see Donald's pictures
Not too restricted.

I couldn't see it
Even at the library
Bobo, is she hot?

All of them were hot,
Except the second; that one
Came out distorted!

I shall now back track,
To discover what 'hot' things,
Of which Zella speaks.   ???  ???

Ahhh! Now I can see!
No near-nudey nubile nymphs
For DJ today!   :-X

Poor DJ Midas
No PC pornography
...there's still amiright ;-)

That's okay, philbo.
It's probably nothing I
Haven't seen before.  ::)

Crazy Don did his
Duty and voted.  So why
Don't you vote today?

Speedo Boy is too
Young to vote, so he won't. So
go out there and vote!

Voting polls busy
Nominations are abound
I just had choc'late  8)

No chocolate for me,
It can give me a headache
And toothache at once.  :-/

I am still tired
Nap is on the agenda
Later on today

This thread got buried
I am bumping it again
To get off page two.

Threads Always Buried,
The Ones That I Like The Most,
Like Storytellers.....

I can't think of one
Too much on mymind right now
I miss it too, Mark.

Today you're Irish
But if you're not you are.  I
Post in green today!

I should prob'ly eat
Something green for lunch today
Make me feel healthy

When do the polls close?
I think I left brain at home
Hard to concentrate

We try for Wednesday
Then count the votes on Thursday
And have show Friday :)

That is good to know
Today I'm feeling so-so  :-/
Sure wish I could go

I can't go nowhere
(That's a double negative)
Watching too much TV

Headaches really suck
'specially when compounded
With a lot of stress :-/

Don't You, Forget a-
bout me, As you walk on by
Will you call my name?

Yet another day,
is winding down to the end,
hope the verdict's soon  :-/

Burning the Ground, I
Break from the crowd, I'm on the
Hunt I'm after you...

...I smell like I sound,
I'm lost and I'm found, and I'm
Hungry Like the Wolf....

Happy birthday me!
In case you had not noticed
It is my birthday! :):)

Happy birthday you!
Hope you have an awesome day!
Have some cake for me!  :D

Glad to see
DJ Midas kitty avatar
is with us again!

:D :)

Thank you, Shaz-a-fraz!  ;)
It has been long time no talk.
Hope you're doing well!  :)

The forecast was rain,
And now it is raining here,
Wow!  They got it right!  :o

What to do today?
It is such a nice day out
May go for a walk.  :)

Just here to say "Hi"
I'm off to my parents house,
But I shall be back......

I don't wanna work!
Waaah waah waah waah waah waah waaaah!
Is it Friday yet?

Don't cry my DJ!
Friday will come in no time!
Please try to cheer up!  :D

Mondays come too soon
Next 3-day weekend isn't
Until 4/18  :-/

Haiku on page two?
Not for long, says the DJ
Now it's on page one  ;D

Too many topics
In the playful penguin place
Haiku demoted

I resurrected
Some more that were dead too long
Need variety

I have heard it said
Variety's "Spice of life"
But I'm not so sure

Reviving this thread
That's where I am about now
So we can all post!

Here I be again....
Waiting to post with someone.
I'm a lonely Dude. :-/

I am sitting here
Waiting for my special friend
The clock is ticking........ ::)

Does your special friend
Resemble your avatar?
Can I wait here too?   ;D  ;)

I hope that your friend
Has visited you, princess
Shouldn't make you wait

The sun is shining
A pale golden haze warming
Blossoming flowers.

That is beautiful.
You took me right to that spot
MissInformation  :)

My first haiku in
A very long time, I see.
Hope to write some more.

Nothing's shocking
anymore. They show anything
on television!  :(

Another taboo
Broken because of Clinton's
TV ratings box.

Saving our Haiku thread
from the dreaded page two
now it's your turn. Next?

Here I am, Shazam  ;)
I will not let this thread die
Thanks for saving it  :)

I will bump this up
Because it is on page two
Here's another one:

Do you really want
To hurt me?  Do you really
Want to make me cry?  ;)

"Her name is Rio
and she dances on the sand"
I just love that song!  ::)

"Take my hand; we'll make
It I sway-air, Whoa-oa, Liv-
in' on a pray-air..."

I'm a cowboy, on
A steel horse I ride, I'm wan-
Ted dead or alive

Shot through the heart and
You're to blame darlin' you give
Lo-ove a bad name

Quite a stretch, Midas
Made love two syllables long
Now that's a long love.

Haiku is so hard
Especially this morning
Can't count syllables

My little girl, drive
Anywhere, do what you want,
I don't care...Tonight...

Saving this thread from
Page two oblivion is
What I want to do

New York, London, Par-
is, Munich, ev'body talk
About Pop Muzik!

No confirmation
So Rice Cube cannot log in
Emergency here!

American I-
Don't like to watch it too much
But Carmen is buff.

Maybe I need to
Turn back time so the Rice Cube
Can return once more :)

Let's hope that SS
Finds some munchies so she can
Play with us some more :D

SS has no food
must wait til morning again
then eat at moms house!!!

There ain't no cookin'
Like mama's home cookin' so
You can eat just right ;)

...When you make that Cal-
ifornia trip, get your kicks
On Route 66...

Stress level SO high,
Arguing ALL of the time,
Physical pending.............

Sorry to hear that.  :-/
Stress just sucks it sucks it sucks
I could do without

Here I go again
On my own down the only
Road I've ever known

Like a drifter I
Was born to walk alone, and
I've made up my mind...

Down on the corner
Out there in the streets where the
Poor boys are playin'...

Your own Personal
Jesus, someone to hear your
Prayers, someone who cares...

I will write my own
Haiku that is, cuz I rock
I rock the casbah! :D

Now we don't like it!!!
Rockin' the casbah, et cet'ra
Cet'ra, et cet'ra ;)

I have been busy
Writing a new story in
Single Artist thread

yak yak yak yak yak
me me me me me me me me
blah b b blah blah

::)

Whatever, Trevor  ::)
Nyah Nyah Nyah phbtt phbtt phbtt phbtt!
:P :P :P :-* ;D

Uh, huh-huh-huh-huh
Mm-huh-huh-mm-huh-huh-huh
Uh, huh-huh-huh-huh

Have gno gnats tognight
Who could have possibly gnown
That I'd miss my gnats

Well, time for this Cube
To go off to sleepy land
Goodnight good penguins :)

Today caught a glimpse
Of the future; frightening thoughts
Lick my brain like flames.

A haiku for those who have run out of things to say (or, for that matter, anyone who studies Shakespeare)

Blah di-blah di-blah
Blah di-blah di-blah di-blah
Blah di-blah di-blah

Twas brillig; slithy toves
Gyre; gimble; borogoves
&etc.

Where are Zella's cones?
Says "this page cannot be found"
Cone reduction?  ??? Stumped...

Not only that, but
Her website is gone!  My pic-
Tures are gone!  Eee-ouch!

What is going on?  ???
Is it because of the rain
SoCal's s'posed to get?

Perhaps cones are tired
lacking sleep as they have
stood for so long.  Poor cones.

Shall I compare thee
To a summer's day?  Thou art
More lovely and stuff :P

Weird. When I think of
Emergency Cube I hear
Sirens in my head

And his avatar
Is the logo on the side
Of the ambulance  :D

So Midas thinks I'm
A veterinarian?
Hee hee hee hee hee :D

Ew, yuk Chicken Feet
How do you eat that nasty
gross Chicken Feet, Rice?

Line dancing's my style
Hey you got a camel toe
Mullet boot scootin'

Chicken feet are good
When marinated in the
Finest gourmet sauce :)

Stomp them dang ol' boots
Ride the mechanical bull
Mullet Honky-Tonk

Monster Truck Rally
On agenda for tonight
Bigfoot. Mudbogs. Yeah!  :D

Double wide on blocks
Rap sheet as long as my arm
Man I love cold beer  :D

I'm starting to think
P.O.P.'s avatar is
Sporting a mullet  ;D

Clowns to left of me
Jokers on right here I am
Stuck in the middle

Censored haiku here
my ass  is shitty
bitchin here

Business in the front
It's party time in the back!
Man's a complex beast

Let's all go to the
Big Johnson Casino where
We liquor up front ;)

Did my haikus scare
you?  I don't really have a
mullet, ew that's gross!  ;D

Would you make fun if
I sported a fat mullet?
Looks weird on Asians :P

The Asian Mullet....
I bet it looks fabulous
on Jackie Chan, no?

Jackie would never
Go for the mullet look since
It's ridiculous :P :D

Hop in my Bronco
We gon' go see cuz'n Pete's
B!tchen Camaro

Watching the soccer.
It is going rather well
As of this moment.

And I said, "HEY-AY
YE-AH, HEY-AY YEAH," I said
"Hey, what's going on?"

Do you really want
To hurt me?  Do you really
Want to make me cry?

Why do we scream at
Each other?  This is what it
Sounds like when doves cry

Chucky fixed password
Now I can be Rice again
But for now I stay ;)

Go Rice Cube, it's your
birthday, we gonna party
like it's your birthday!

My birthday is past
But we can still party like
It's Fourth of July :D

two thousand zero
zero party over oops
out of time, duh duh.... ::)

So tonight, party
Like it's nineteen ninty-nine
Woo hoo hoo hoo yeeeeeeeeah...

I got a lion
In my pocket mama...
It's ready to roar!  :o

Who can it be now?
Tell me who can it be now?
Who can it be now?

I'm 'gon knock you out
Mama said knock you out, yeah
I'm 'gon knock you out.

You're taking meeeeeeeeeeeee to
The point of no return (HAH-
HEY-YEAH, HA-HEY-AY!)

So now I come t'you
With open arms...and forgot
The other lyrics :P

la la la la la
la live for today la la
la la la la UGH!

For your eyes only
Only for you, you see what
No one else can see...

Hi, I'm Tarzan Boy,
I love to swing from the trees
and make fun of POP!

Eeek!  Off white colors!
Hard to strain eyeballs to see
Perhaps new color?

"Oh-oh OWA Oh-Oh-
Oh-WA Owa Oh-Oh, Oh-
Oh OWA Owa..."

Rejoice, for it seems
Emergency Cube is now
A Gentoos Penguin!  :D

Emergency Cube
Is over halfway towards the
Royal Penguin rank!

tap tap tap it in
tap tap tap tap tap tappy
just tap it in there

H'now, you're an all-star
Get your show on, get paid and
H'now, you're an all-star...

Me and Mr. Cube
Mr. Cube, Mr. Cube, yeah
Me and Mr. Cube..........

Jam on it, Jam on
It, Jam on-on-on-on-ni-ni
on it, Jam on it!...

Freaks come out at night
I said freaks come out at night
Freaks come out at night

Now let us try to
Return to more diverse forms
Of haiku, shall we?

As the sun sets down
Behind the blue-green ocean
Where are my pants at?

That's a mystery
That you may need help solving
I'll go check my room  ;D

Oh No! Mr. Bill
Did you hide my pants again?
Give them back to me.

My pants disappeared
That is three syllables, ya?
At least, I think so...

Why you want them back?
Don't you feel a lot more free
Going without pants?  :D

Party in my pants
Saturday, at eight PM
Be there or be square!

I'm not coming there
Friday night Duke Law party
Young smart women there  ;D

Oooh, who hired you there?
If any of them are game
I'd like their numbers ;)

Nanny nanny boo
boo, stick your head in moo goo
gai pan that is HA!

DJ Midas is
In the money with all them
Hot nubile chickas :D

My 'mate's DJing
I'm just going for the free
Beer and hot women  8)

If you play it right
You could land a potential
Sugar mama, weeeeeeeerd 8)

But aren't you married
to Mrs. Midas that is?
Oh you slimey turd!  ;D

So sad that Midas
Is not married anymore
But now for more play!

Yeah, about that mess...
I have done 'bout all I can
I am about done.  :-/

So tomorrow night
I will drink some bacardi
Like it's my birfday  8)

A shot in the dark
once step away from you oh
A shot in the dark  ;) :-*

Hey, at least she can
Buy her own alcohol but
Still young and spry, right?  :D

Werd, Emergency.  8)
It's gonna be a fun time
I may DJ some

Perhaps you can get
Some of these girls (legal please!)
To give you lap dance :D

Or else you can be
A gentleman and woo them
The romantic way 8)

Or maybe, perhaps
Woo them into a lap dance
Yeah, that's the ticket!  ;D

I need a lover
Who won't drive me crazy.  I
need a lover who…

Nothing will happen
Because legally I am
Still married to wife

And I wouldn't let
Anything happen unless
I wanted it to

But I will party
Like it's 1999
And have a good time  :)

You are a good man
I hope all goes well tonight
Party hearty dude!

Thank you much, E. Cube
How'd you know I'm going out
Tonight as well, hmm?   ;D

Absent minded me :P
I thought your party's tonight
But I guess I'm off

Haven't been on the
Messageboard in a long while.
What's happened since then?

Some old penguin place
Welcome back to our lands though
It is good fun here 8)

I have not posted
Haiku in a long long time
five, seven, five right?

I will attempt one
But I can't count syllables
well. Does it matter?

You did fine Karen!
There's really nothing to it.
Just five, seven, five.

Karen counted well,
Five, Seven, Five was achieved,
Good on ya matey!!!!  ;D

Yeehaw! It's Friday!  :D
Another day of mayhem
Here at PBG!  ;D

I now have a whole
Lot of posts as I passed ten
Thousand yesterday

I did not know that!
Congrats on a lot of posts
Mr. Crazy Don

Hey Babe! Where's my beer
Yo Quiero Taco Bell
Mullet Honeymoon
:D

Tractor pull tonight
A NASCAR race tomorrow
I'm in heaven now

Lord of the mullet
Michael Flatley is so hot
In his mullet dance

Got my new tattoo
Six pack o' Bud on belly
Twenty four-seven

I'm a champion
My mullet sways with each pitch
I'm Randy Johnson

Smokin' Marlboros
Propped against my Camaro
Outside the C-Store

Born to Run Hairdo
Whither doest thou wander, Dude?
Home to New Jersey..

Got a date tonight
Rip the sleeves off my T-shirt
Clean up my hi-tops

Dude, you have a date?
Rock on!  Which hottie is it?
Duke lawyer girls, right?  :D

Mullet man, tight jeans
Manhole cover on his waist?
That's his belt buckle!

Hey, Emergency
Bi-Level hairdos rule all
You do have one, yes?  :D

I have bi-level
But it is not a mullet
Mother would freak out :P

Oh spinning pussy...
You want a mullet cut too?
Go find me them shears!

I love spinny cat
It just spins me round right round
Like a record yeah...

Meow meow meow meow meow
Meow meow meow meow meow meow *HISS!*
*HISS!* *SPIT* *HISS*  ME-OW!

In the word "me-ow"
There must be two syllables
I guess cats can't count

If said fast enough
It might be one syllable
Kinda like Bob D.  ;)

Mullet haircut tip:
Just a little off the top
DO NOT touch the back!  >:(

Jean-Claude Van Damme had
A sick mullet in one of
His B-class movies :D

The wind blows through it
Does not think, but simply is
Zen-like mullet state

Be one with the hair
Be one with the mullet for
It shall bring you peace

Cain't get no beaver
So I wear one on my head
Jus' don't give a dam

Beaver College changed
Its name to Arcadia
Innuendoes gone!

There is a 'Beaver
Liquors' in Colorado
Thats pretty funny!  :D

I would think that a
Liquored-up beaver would be
Quite amusing, eh?  :)

Just as long as the
Beaver doesn't get real sick
That would not be cool

Speaking of beavers
Does Midas still mack on chicks
Tonight at party?  :D

Now I have posted
Four hundred times and I can
Post a hundred more...

Emergency Cube
Needs to post 88 more
Times before Royal

The Tornado Watch
Effective until 9-ish
Is still in effect. :(

Tornado watches
All the time in NC but
Nothing ever flies :P

Haiku done the Simpsons way:

"Fasten seatbelts tight
Your seat cushions float gently
Headsets five dollars".

Thirty Minutes Over Tokyo

I am so tired
I want to go home and sleep
And wake up later

A bright sunny day?
Not in Washington, D.C.
Rainy, wet and cold  >:(

Same here in NC
It would be a good day to
Do some mudbogging

The sun is shining
Why am I trying to work?
I should be outside

Wrangler boot cut jeans
Headin' out to the race track
NASCAR in my blood

It is 5.30
I need to fetch the children
back here tomorrow

Nice weather come soon
So I can have pig pickin'
Got to rent a grill  

I'm wondering now
About that there... pig pickin?
A party trick...yes??  ???

It's a southern thing
Grill pig on big barbecue
When done eat pork. Yum!

Even though that I'm
A D@mn Yankee I'll admit
I have been to three

Ahhh! Now I get it,
It sounds much like a hungi !!
My favourite eating!               ;D

Now enlighten me:
What is a hungi, Dooley?
Kangaroo cookout?   ???

Ha.  :D

Any carcass does,
Slow cooked over coal DJ,
A Maori technique.

(We stole the idea from New Zealand)

Ah, I see, HD.
And congratulations on
1600 posts.                     :D

1600 posts !!  :o
I am now officially,
A decades junkie!

This is page twenty
I will start another thread
Hope to see you there!        :D

I wanted to start
The next thread and call it Sear-
Ching Low & Haiku

(But somebody beat me to it!)

Don't be too upset,
Other people start threads to,
Try and chill out, Don ;)
