Bad Haiku
Horrible poetry for the digital age
27 Years, 135 Days and 76969 Haiku later...

I often wonder
how many people read this
other than, like, us.

by Any idea Janis? You get any "visitor" data?
My poor old man brain
Just might never forgive me.
But with God is hope.

Waah waah waah waah waaaaah....
Yeah, did my share of nitrous.
Just say N 2 O.

Forget the whippettes. Get one of those big tanks like at a dentist's office. You know the right ppl, it's easy to get. :-)

At my advanced years
a floppy is typical.
Seldom have hard drive.

Please madam, don't byte.
Terabyte my solid state.

by Floppy diks, as they say in India. of Like Game of Thrones.
Yes, single-sided,
single-density, even.
But for the poems,

this whole site would fit
on a five and a quarter
inch floppy diskette.

Though admittedly
not quite so old to have lived
in a flaccid sleeve,

it did indeed first
travel on three and a half
inches of plastic.

An ancient art form,
an ancient new medium.
It's relative, but

A quarter of a
century is very old
indeed for the web.

Congratulations
are very much in order
for this Bad Haiku.

Prosciutto violate.
Ultraviolent.

Look at all that blood.

Soon the world will end.
The trillionaires all know it.
Escape while you can.
