Title: TulsaNow haiku
Post by: RecycleMichael on August 02, 2007, 07:53:42 PM
We haven't done this in a while, but it has been fun when we did.

The american version is three lines of five syllables, seven syllable and five syllable phrases.

I'll start...

Four tenths of penny
Everyone decided
Cry me a river

and

Wal-Mart for downtown
What is the cost of low prices
Can we afford that?

Owasso drivers:
In the midst of Main and Fifth
There's an obstacle.


Stop the chop downtown
And don't denude Standpipe Hill.
Shield us from old Sol.


Top off your gas tank.
Drive around Tulsa for hours.
Savor the ozone.


Raze the IDL?
Superblock the CBD?
Obey DTU?

Work on a Friday
Its not likely to happen
Can I go home now?



haiku's are just lame
participants are to blame
therefor, I will not



R-M is to blame
for the problem of this game
(clever ending here)



Tulsa spelled backwards
is "A Slut," which backwards is
about fifty bucks



Her and I had fun
Not like that you poor sick man
she slapped when I tried



The New Arena
Is Just An Old Idea
Tulsa Was Behind



No River Tax Please
I Hate It When Things Look Nice
No, but I Am Cheap



Money, I have none
Someday I want to have some
I should work right now

the air choked with haze
makes me wish for winter days,
or just some more shade.

In a Tulsa state of mind
Been away for way too long
Goin' back in 2 years.

A GREAT golf venue
Ruined by a very few
Majors we may no longer

I'll correct it to say "what's".

Thanks for catching my math error.

Ah Michael, I wasn't trying to correct you.  I was more or less trying to figure this game out and didn't know if I was messed up or there was indeed a mistake.

Homeless hi-rise near

A neighborhood cries.

If they live in a high rise
Are they still homeless?

Wait till it's over
This summer of discontent
Fall will be better
