Mardi Gras Game Day Haiku

[8893]

Hey, it's Fat Tuesday
Laissez le bon temps rouler!
No Ash Wednesday blues

 

[Vancat]

I hope it's good news
We will be checking all day
Either way, GO TEAM!

 

[Huskybass]

Bouk it Danno, yes
The star returns to shine bright
Huskies roll to win

 

[Mr. Wonderful]

So how does this work?

I write a clever haiku

and the Huskies win?

 

[Hans Sprungfeld]

So how does this work?

I write a clever haiku

and the Huskies win?

It stokes the mojo
To write a proper haiku
This is a good start

Notes for the newbies:
Count syllables in each line
Five, seven, then five

It's very simple
And it's very powerful
It makes us a team

Coaches, players, fans
Each of us getting better
We each do our job

One game at a time
Improving our seeding, and
Back to the big dance

 

[mussels]

Huskies looking to
go faster and attack more
Fast fierce dogs win this

 

[storrsroars]

Lent starts tomorrow
Our Huskies are giving up
Losing till Easter.

 

[Get a Job]

What's on the menu?
Well, it's only been 6 days
So, vengeance served warm!

 

[HuskyHawk]

Fat Tuesday Friars
Brings a game day Carnival
Huskies will revel

 

[Hey Adrien!]

Last time: a new low.
This rematch against PC:
an upward pendulum swing.

 

[8893]

@HuskyHawk please fix
Your first line, which is now one
Syllable too long

 

[Big Cranky]

All I see is rain
But it is better than snow
Let's go UConn, woof!

 

[HuskyHawk]

@8893
checked syllable counter dot
net says it is five

 

[Willbball]

UConn down today
PC will get it going
Same outcome as last...

 

[Son of Robert]

Baby, where am I?
well, you're not in Providence
oh, thank God for that

C T's native son
best basketball anywhere
bleeding Blue for Life

 

[Big Cranky]

Syllable Counter
Says "friar" is one syllable
Webster friar's two

@HuskyHawk please fix
Your first line, which is now one
Syllable too long

@8893 I
checked syllable counter dot
net says it is five

 

[Hans Sprungfeld]

Fat Friars on Tuesday
Brings a game day Carnival
Huskies will revel

Recount that first line
(Eighty-eight ninety-three's right)
Shorten by one please

 

[Hans Sprungfeld]

@8893 I
checked syllable counter dot
net says it is five

Do we pronounce "@"
When we are tagging someone?
If so, please remove "I"

 

[HuskyHawk]

Recount that first line
(Eighty-eight ninety-three's right)
Shorten by one please

Checked rechecked
it says Friars is just one
says Tuesday is two

 

[Hans Sprungfeld]

UConn down today
PC will get it going
Same outcome as last...

Really bad mojo
Syllables count correctly
But no Like from me

 

[HuskyHawk]

Do we pronounce "@"
When we are tagging someone?
If so, please remove "I"

I don't pronounce it
it just serves to link to him
quoting is better

 

[XLCenterFan]

We win this rematch.
Then rattle off a few more.
Peaking just in time.

 

[8893]

Checked rechecked
it says Friars is just one
says Tuesday is two

My source says it's two
Looks like another source-off
@Abe1 make the call

 

[Hans Sprungfeld]

Checked rechecked
it says Friars is just one
says Tuesday is two

What of "Checked rechecked"?
You can't convince me that's 5
Or your F word's one

Two other sources
Showed it as 1 syllable
Why risk confusion?

 

[hansonel-amin]

Friars in our house
Second chance to get a win
Let's do it this time
