Midweek Haiku

Buffalo Springfield

Reference is real clever

Music Trivia

I just woke up just

a few minutes earlier

brain not on-line yet.

Got the 45

Just heard it the other day,

For what it is worth..   

WOW I got email!

Big surprise that I am fat

How could they have known?

And a bonus limerick

Willie on the Railroad Tracks

The engine gave a squeal

The engineer just took a spade

and scraped him off the wheel!

and non-railroad related (Poor Willie)

Willie fell down the elevator

He wasn't found 'til three days later

The neighbors took a sniff and said "Gee Wiz"

What a spoiled child, Willie is...

from out of the wild

and up from the deep

came Lady Godiva

riding a runaway Geep!

Love the limericks!!  I've often thought about doing that one Wed., but decided it's too much work!   (The haikus I can just roll out of bed and do.)  Maybe now I'll be motivated.

I guess I could give it a shot....

There once was a hobbyist from Nantucket

Whose unit trains was so long... 

nah I better not  

While running a Rail King Dash 8

I accelerated out of a straight

But cars jumped the track

Alas and alack

I slowed down way, way too late   

Better stick to haikus...  

LuLu had a bicycle . .. . 

ok- i'm game

lulu rode a bicycle

every Sunday to church

when she pedaled too hard

up went her skirt

when it came time to dismount

although she wasn't a flirt

all the men gathered round

too many to count

it's seat was made of glass . . .

ok-never to resist a challenge...

lulu's bicycle seat

was made out of glass

good for the gophers 

but, hard on her a** 

i best let it go at that i think

lulu may haunt my dreams if i go any further...

LuLu had a chicken . . . 

although thoughts of Lulu

dance in my head

i best grab my Cab1

and run O trains instead

because girls who ride bicycles

on glass seats, so it's said

will leave a good man broken

and better off dead

borderline blue with the blues, maybe

maybe just bad- CYA!

The mid-week haiku

Flows easily from the brain.

Limericks are hard.

Bonus Limericks:

There was a model railroader named Dave

Who kept wind-up trains in his man-cave.

You have to admit

He'd get bored when they'd quit.

But think of the wattage he'd saved.

There was a garden railroader named Dan

Whose layout needed to expand.

Said the County Surveyor

You must pay your neighbor

Your railroad is now on her land.

There's some serious brain work on this thread.

Just when you thought creativity was dead.

When one throws them a curve.

They amp up the nerve.

And respond with great limericks instead.

Next week: Burma Shave

Stephen Stills lived here

Nearby in Manassas Park

Went to Osbourn High

The Haiku goes on

While the Limericks are spawned

This is so much fun

There was once a young boy named Lare

Who was playing with his trains on the stair

The casement broke, the poor little bloke

He found out gravity isn’t fair!

His trains were a terrible sight

With pieces strewn left and right

A warranty claim said he and dropped to his knee

While he was picking up pieces all night

So to the factory it was sent

And repaired by a kindly old gent

He saw through the ruse but the note did amuse

So he fixed everything that was bent

you guys are killing me...

a lass chose to be anonymous

who could outdrink a green hippopotomus

although nameless she remained

with her talent she became

o'er Eire, a Sheila most famous

and she married an O Gauger who drank more than she!

Geez, c'mon guys.  Save SOMEthing for NEXT week!  

Having said that....

There once was a lass named Taylor

Who filmed many MTH trailers

"The geezers" all drooled

Their libidos quite fooled

As though they were all drunken sailors  

 . . . she also had a duck . . .

I thought it was Lime-rick Disease

A hobbysist who went by the name of Cab

Composed couplets exceedingly fab

Hi Dee Hi Dee Hi Dee Hi

Can you folks  believe this guy

His offerings are anything but drab

and on it goes.....
