"Hello. How are you? I'm not home right now, but if you'd like to leave a message, just start talking at the sound of the tone." Laurie Anderson, O Superman for (Massenet)

Update: I am still here, but I cannot be as active as I would like to be. Still, it remains a great pleasure to be at the service of the WP community at large. As soon as I get hooked up to the interweb again, well... business as usual on my availability to the ol' WP. As always, the White Zone is for loading and unloading only. If you have to load or unload, please go to the White Zone...

Next best thing to those aquarium screen savers. Enjoy.

Here, something to get the ball rolling... don't be shy...

Waiting for your words

You type in the special way

And bring the most truth

Goodbye ...

I saw you drivin' away

Not stayin' with me today

The afternoon sun streaked my eyes

And I stamped my feet before I went inside.

A warm sweater in winter

Very good

Don't even touch it in summer!

By Sweet Daddy Siki 18:00, 21 January 2006 (UTC)

A hamster is for life

Not just for the holidays

So the hamster stays.

This haiku was brought to you by James James, who does not even have the excuse of drunkenness.

Owed two sandwiches...

Get this in yer tum

Thin sliced hamster in a bun

Yum, yum, yummy, yum

By Alf (age 249³⁄₄) this haiku was found in an abandoned warehouse in Deptford and should have stayed there.

On my RFA

Comments fall like autumn leaves

Thank you for your vote

By Proto, who loves the haikus.

Ode to an odor

Trapped in my colon

A stirring deep inside me

The wind cries Mary

[edit] Or Limericks...

This is a limerick, not haiku

There once was a handsome Haitian

The luckiest dog in Creation.

He worked for the Rubber Trust

Teaching the Upper Crust

The science of safe copulation.

Igor Garibaldi 20:30 28 January 2006 (UTC)

Another limerick:

There once was a man from Vienna

whose face looked just like Burnt Sienna;

he'd stayed out too long

in the hot midday sun;

friends who see him now laugh like a hyena.

—Nightst a llion (?) 09:20, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

Sorry no haiku, only one of Issac Asimov's Lecherous Limericks:

There once was an effete lazy fop,

Who preferred his women on top.

He said I'm no jerk,

let them do the work.

But if I get pregnant I'll stop.
