What song do you have in "your" head?

haikus are easy they follow a simpe format:

the first line is 5 syllables long
the second line is 7 syllables long
the third line is 5 syllables again

That's all there is to it

This line is five syl
ables long. This one is not.
But this one is. See?
 
I never knew there were other rules to writing a haiku. In school they only taught me the syllable thing. What are the other rules?
 
Ok, haikus seem to have faded. How about limericks? They are another potentially amusing poetic form. They can be original or not. They just can't be the New Originals, because that's already been taken.

There was a young man from the coast.
Who was never too lazy to post.
In all other jobs, he was simply a slob.
But every now and then he got up off his lazy ass and actually did some work around the house instead of lying there waiting for the remote control to magically sprout wings and fly back to him, while he sat on the couch and oh crap, I got to go back to work.
 
Ok, I suppose I could take a stab at this.


There was a dude named chris
who had to take a piss
and when he went into the bathroom he knew he would miss
so he went to the store to get a tarp to cover the floor
but instead he bought a harp
and now he plays wonderful music to himself
while he pisses on himself
because he still misses--- :goodvibes
 
That is close to the style of a limerick Andre. And I do know that my last line was not in correct limerick form either. I know someone out there can nail this. Nail it like a polaroid picture.

there was an old man from spain
who's teeth were in great deal of pain
so he pulled them all out
and yelled with a shout:
"i'm a nasty old fuck who's insane!"
Nice, makes me want to rip out all of my teeth! :bigmouth:

as i hovered over the toilet bowl, staring at my reflection and fighting my desire to pass out, i wonder which hit the water first, my tears or my vomit.
