Haiku

I love this

Tickle tickle. Get this?

Waikiki night
lunar bridge appears
wet Jesus

...or this:

the future paleontologist
examines the extinct Briton's
stiff upper lip

...or...

the rider
whipping his horse, apologises:
"I have no beef with you"

...or...

the millionaire culinarist
visiting the bathroom, expertly passes
a thousand-dollar stool

Lol I love the second one the most, but im afraid I didnt understand the first. Bring on google.

But dearest Noor, you are British - surely you get the 'stiff upper lip'? The "be stout, face life's challenges stoically, unflinching"? Because I don't see what else there is not to get I am the foreigner here, remember

The British (used to?) pride themselves on surviving the greatest of challenges (such as Hitler) with a stiff upper lip, stoically, bring it on. Over the aeons they go extinct, a future paleonthologist finds a fossilised Briton and examines his stiff (fossilised) upper lip... Which didn't save him

I meant this one as the first.. and that was the one I said I loved

Ahh I see You restored my faith in you! It's my favourite, too

Well, a lunar bridge is the reflection of the moon on the sea - standing on the shore at night with the moon hanging low, it really looks like a bridge to the moon, made of golden light. Someone tries to walk on the "bridge" on Waikiki beach, like Jesus walked on the Sea of Galilee, and...

I did consider adding "Jesus-wannabe", but it felt too obvious...

Hahaha good one

Phew, thank God for that! Should I be offended you thought me incapable of understanding that?

To me haiku starts to look like a trivial pursuit game. To quote Viva: "not impressed,guys, not at all "

Why, I do believe,
My little fun scorned upon,
Do mine ears deceive?

Viva, I'm a dinosaurus That'll give you some consolation

'tis a dinosaur
not some hairy miaouw
or a greasy Depardieu

hairy straycat
or greasy Depardieu
still a true fox

At your service,O.I
