- Nick nick nick nick na nick nick nick, Nickelodeon June 19, 2020Woo, so I neglect this blog, don’t I?

I do love Haiku,
An ancient and noble form
Of insulting folks.
Haiku is for you
Truly there is no better
way to slam someone
Haikus are quite strange;
I find them quite confusing.
Prose that warps senses.
Haikus Are easy
But sometimes they don’t make sense
Refrigerator
Rubber chicken hats,
The dragon basks in ice cream.
Seek the zen, you all.
This is the best thing I’ve ever seen
This might be something
I’ll start doing to people
If they’re deserving.
I don’t understand
How this is any worse
then normal insults.
Left a syllable
out from haiku second line?
Here try this instead:
I don’t understand
how this can be any worse
than normal insults
Then you do not know
Haiku is the greatest of all
At insults, for sure
I don’t like haiku
I find them most annoying
Make them go away
Why don’t you like them?
Haikus are really awesome!
Is there a reason?
Ozy and Millie
Foxes I wish to befriend
How do I ge there?
In the waffle waffle
these waffle waffle
A waffle waffle
In the dark angst
these dark goth
A blender blender
From lame to poem
The lame lame poem
To the lame.lame.
Buffalo bluffing
Buff Buffalo buffalo
Rebuffed buffalo
Yes, he lied to me.
He’ll lie to you too, later
If not sooner.
(Ahem.) “As well as sooner”
Haikus are quite cool,
I really very like them,
Wait I’m out of syll-
I can never think
Of of a good Haiku
On moment’s notice
All of the comments
Are in the form of haiku.
This makes sense to me.
Look at me right now
I am way better than you
Now get me cheese
