Spam Haiku http://pemtropics.mit.edu/~jcho/spam/10101-10200.html This is strange, funny stuff...don't miss it!

Great, Helen! Thanks for breaking the ice with an original! Now, I requested a Spam/Mushroom Haiku from someone special, but I'm not naming any names!  I await in eager anticipation! (ahem)

Okey dokey... you asked:
Like a bad train wreck
keeps grabbing my attention
all those "issues" posts
wish I didn't look
harsh words make me very sad
should enjoy the Board
it's about the words
here to learn from each other
have fun on the way
On a lighter note...
stales and doc_comfort
hev and paulb, are here to
give those Kiwis stick
Oh, I know, I know ... I'm asking for it.
Hev

SPAM ain't really ham,
Pork loin is more the like it--
CapK could tell ya!
I grok well-scanned ham
Walt reels it off merrily
The sky is bright blue ...
The idiot also known as Capfka ...

The fats in the fire
The flames grow higher
give a look,
ask the cook,
Is it Spam? or is it a liar?
The menu at the Spam Café
where Spam is the special of the day
Cold from can
or fried up in the pan,
It's spam, spam, spam, spam, spam every way!
(note-I know from the East Enders that some of the poster here read cafeto rhyme with laugh, but here, in US, it is often rhymed with weigh, day.

Food, my greatest love,
Awakes in me a fire, but
My flame is not SPAM

Rhubarb is cover'd,
At my Command, over with
Dung or with custard

Custard is neater
But brown sugar's far sweeter:

Threaten me, fellow?
Do your worst! And blow your pipe
There until you burst!
2)
Madeira, Hamelin,
Far apart: held together
By a rhubarb tart.
EDIT: The tart's not done yet, but it is Browning

Dung or with custardIt occurs to me that the schoolboy joke on which that Haiku was based may well be unknown on your fair shores. It is told thus: There was once a man with a wheelbarrow full of manure, heading towards his vegetable garden where the contents of the barrow were intended for the enrichment of the soil. His road took him past an institution for those with special educational needs. (in the days that the story was first related, this was known as "the loony bin!  )An inmate of said institution, leaning over the wall, asked the man, "What's that for?" "I am a-going," said the man, "to put this barrow-load on my rhubarb." "Cor!!" said the inmate, "It's you lot out there who're mad - we have custard on ours in here!"

SPAM is best when fried
Pink slices dipped in batter
Then in hot fat -Yummm!
