If I understand you correctly, you believe that Lt. Pinkerton was a bounder for abandoning Cho Cho San.
I concur. And so, apparently, does Malcolm McLaren

Haiku, is that a new vehicle brand?
Yeah, what the fuck is a haiku??
You don’t know haiku?
People are sure dumb these days
Pay attention in class
Must be from fairview
only art is graffiti
just look at your phone
“Turning Japanese I really think so” everybody sing…..
Dumb? I’m a manager in one of the major departments of an accounting firm (And I used my brain to get that position, not my pussy, btw). I googled it and now it has come back to me. Excuse me for not remembering various types of poems I learned in junior high 20 years ago. I guess I was more concerned with retaining info that would actually land me a career some day.
Sorry mizznyowie, all I heard was “waa I am butt-hurt waaa”.
Also, I wouldn’t have just assumed you used your pussy to get your job. I’m sure you earned your position through plenty of work and know-how…I just don’t care.
Is your major department of an accounting firm located on SGR and do you have diamond encrusted minge and an artist/barista who can tongue you to ecstasy on the number 25?
It’s St Patricks day and the leprechauns keep feeding me ale and a poteen chaser, I’ve already had mutton stew and soda bread, I’m fucking loaded.
Oh yes Basil. All diamonds in my snatch…
Keep drinking that green beer, boyo….
Just ignore the bullies, MizzNyowie. After lurking here for a few months I’ve noticed a major case of protectionism amoungst the regulars. If you’re not a regular they will gang up and drive you away. Its like an incest family, they can smell fresh blood and sweat.
Hoist & MizzNyowie
You don’t know haiku? -5 syllables
People are sure dumb these days -7 syllables
Pay attention in class – 6 syllables
18 syllables is not a haiku, lol. Its a 5-7-5 pattern, I guess people sure are dumb these days.
haiku unseasoned
western sheep dons kimono
no nip in that air
It is good to see someone understands.
yes, it would be lovely if *someone* understood that haiku require a bit more than syllable counting, which is the least important aspect of it.
Agree GDM. My haiku also didn’t talk about the changing seasons or the human relationship to nature. I guess RyanStalker is just impressed they can count as high as 18 and wanted to chime in.
but of course hoist, in our incestuous way, we must point out the hole in his underpants as he leaps to wrong conclusions. a bitch gotta do what a bitch gotta do.
rs, consider this a dog park. you are going to get bum sniffed a LOT when you come charging in. if you piss on all the trees the others will piss on your piss. some higher, some lower. time will tell where you fit in. it’s a rumble tumble playground.
whimpering little yorkies usually don’t stay, they prefer the perfumed string quartet atmosphere of the doggy-spa.
There most certainly is a lot of bum sniffing happening. Excellent point! More importantly a Haiku most certainly revolves around the syllable count. If not you would have poetry in another form.
Hois, I was merely explaining what a Haiku actually is. In your case counting as high as 18 would have its advantages as the number 17 precedes it. Once you grasp that number a Haiku should become fairly easy for you and then you will have earned the right to insult another human being for their lack of knowledge. Very clever on the last name pun, in my almost 40 years I have never heard that one before. Dry humour bears its ugly head in far too many of the population. Now you should feel honoured that I have taken the time to address you personally again. Trust me, it will be the last.
humour REARS it’s ugly head, not bears it. although that could be an exquisite malapropism.
and unless one is writing haiku in japanese, which has a different way of sounding out a syllable, it’s rigidly pretentious to stick to that.
granted if you have a dozen rhyming couplets you have wandered off the chrysanthemum path, but haiku is more about capturing a moment in time with a quirk. think limerick, condensed
