Boredom struck today
Something I otherwise shun
Reading the clinic

My discovery
Hidden forum poetry
During Lance bashing

Led to curious
Thoughts of what might be achieved
By CN poets

Haiku is easy
Has seventeen syllables
Scans five-seven-five

Otherwise free form
Abstract, rhyming, or just blah
Up to posters mood

Some examples from other places to inspire CN posters -

Haiku cracks me up
Armadillos, doggies, what?
Crazy poetry

I said to my wife
quality not quantity
she said please yourself

My boss said "Haiku!"
So I said, "Haiku you too!"
Now I look for work

Pteranodon Juan
sprays himself with eau de kill
and goes on his date

Impressive it is
to make a haiku about
a certain forum

My favorite haiku, by Campbell McGrath:

Jet skiers on the lake:
Rude to say they're idiots--
yes, but facts are facts.

That's the spirit, lads
Streams of consciousness call forth
Tyrannosaurus

Occasionally
Minimalist verbiage
Also hits the bull

A Haiku that sums up my last weekend:

I rip off your clothes
And you rip off all of mine
You'll be worth the cash.

kidding
 
Ryo Hazuki
Dreaming of Colombia
Induces wet dream

Say Cadel Evans
Bang head on concrete wall when
ACF comments

Timmy Loves Rabo
But not as much as others
Love Team BMC

As the clinic states,
Cobo dirty, but Froome clean?
Ha ha ha ha ha

In Pistolet's mind
Every rider sucks except
AC and Phil Gil

So he changes tack
Argument fails, so replaced
By irrelevance
