Haiku! (Gesundheit.)

[beer_good_foamy]

summer_of_giles is holding a haikuthon! Haiku-off? Haikucopia? ...People are writing a bunch of Giles-related haikus. Go read and post!

Here's a few I came up with:

Sex, drugs, rock'n'roll
Successfully replaced with
Cross-referencing

Unconscious again
Such is life on the hellmouth
Wake up, get knocked out

For sale: Puccini
Complete vinyl collection
Except one, broken

Ex-boyfriend in town
Girlfiend possessed by demon
Life: complicated

Sent here to lead her,
Teach her; She learned to not follow
It's bloody brilliant

Also, never forget that
There once was a young man from Mainz
Whose limericks had no last lines
When asked why this was,
He said: "It's because

Excellent! I love the last one. (The haiku, not the limerick, though that one's funny.) Oh, the Puccini one makes me sadface. D-:

Thanks!

My radio woke me up with that passage from La Boheme a couple of weeks ago. That day was ruined. :(

Hee! All these are brilliant.

Thank you!

*snerk* Is haiku allowed to be funny? :)

[beer-good-foamy.livejournal.com]

I hope so, I really don't want the haiku police to come after me...

Hold it! You're under
Arrest, for wanton cruelty
To poetic grace!

[slaymesoftly.livejournal.com]

LOL!

[shapinglight]

Those are all utterly brilliant. :)

Brilliant! Especially the bit about being unconscious. SO Giles!

[beer-good-foamy.livejournal.com]

Thank you! Giles does tend to get bopped on the head more than is probably healthy...

[slaymesoftly.livejournal.com]

Hmmmm - I think fic needs to be written about Giles dealing with the inevitable brain damage from being bonked on the head so often....

Thanks!

Very nice, I love them all!

[beer-good-foamy.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

The Puccini one is heartbreaking and reminds me of two things I love: that "six words" Hemingway story, "For sale: baby shoes. Never worn."; and something from the M*A*S*H finale. And I love the Buffy "bloody brilliant" one. Happy ending!

Winchester and the Chinese musicians, right? Damn, that bit always got to me. They just had to break him in the very last episode, didn't they?

Thanks!

[local-max.livejournal.com]

Definitely -- I didn't want to be explicit in case you hadn't watched it. That really killed. (And of course they had to break him *after* making him sympathetic, the bastards. They never broke Frank Burns, unless you count his sad look when Margaret helicopters away with Donald and then off-screen. OK maybe they did break Frank Burns, but it was funny...) You're welcome!
