Do a Great Haiku and Win a Half Million!
I would not shit you
you are my favorite turd.
If you live in outside Japan, are childish, and blind, there is no entry fee.
International Section entries, Children’s Section entries, and entries in Braille are free.
But you might want to read up on the rules because they cheat.
Here’s a winner
I decided that the following haiku is the best among his haiku accumulated over the year and the winner of first prize in 2007. As stated in his definition, Thum seems to depict a transient haiku moment through a window to the sea, finally giving an eternal quality to his dreamlike word picture.

Somebody tells,
Sixty listens intently
then farts.

@Winston: well poop!
@Gretchen: Thanks! I hope the Wings win. (born in MI – hockey on frozen ponds.)
“Who’s that crawling on my floor?
Who’s that crawling on my floor?
Who’s that crawling on my floor?
Said the fair young Mommy.
“I’ll suck on your tit and take a shit,
I’m Barnacle Bill the Baby.”

Sixty, you old fart, you’ve done gone and picked yourself a fairly shitty subject this time. I am reminded of the olde philosopher’s wisdom etched on the walls of the meditation stall:
Here I sit all broken hearted.
Came to shit and only farted.
Sorry, I just couldn’t help myself…

@Gretchen:
There once was a hippie named Gretch
Who loves to comment and kvetch.
when she’s in the zone,
she will piss and moan,
and not even consider it a stretch.
@Gretchen: I agree with you about Haiku, but it can be a mind-bender if they are good.
@Barbara, I hope Gretchen will post her family’s version.
Gosh, I haven’t heard Barnacle Bill since I was at college in marching band….most unique, that.
Oh, the memories. 🙂

Oh and I do enjoy the haiku you posted. So totally non-gay. Refreshing.

Haiku is total fag poetry. If you don’t talk about the moonlight on the water or some intricate blossom, you’re not doing it right. Feh.
Me, I like limericks and “Barnacle Bill the Sailor”. They may be doggerel but at least they’re not GAY.
