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

 

[Hans Sprungfeld]

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

don't pronounce it (4)
it just serves to link him (6)
What a mojo mess

If I see it, then
I subvocalize it, or
I say it aloud

That guides me re "@"
And more so with the Fri word
Your mileage varies

Ambiguity
Is disruptive to haiku
One man's opinion

Gotta step away
I've made my opinions known
Someone else can count

 

[Big Cranky]

No more arguing
Our mojo is suffering
"Why can't we be friends"

Why can't we be friends
Providence will lose today
Please sing it with me!

 

[Dove]

F5in' all day?
In the end we suit up dawgs!!
Now, don't touch your face.

 

[8893]

No more arguing
Our mojo is suffering
"Why can't we be friends"

Why can't we be friends
Providence will lose today
Please sing it with me!

It is ironic
The song "Why Can't We Be Friends"
Is from band named "War"

 

[ClifSpliffy]

intimidating
unassailability.
annihilation.

bark. woof woof, woof woof.
growl. woof woof, woof woof, woof woof.
howl. woof woof, woof woof.
