Ol' Grandpappy used to say to me "Steven, quit calling me Grandpappy and do some more of those haiku, but this time do them like the Beatles wrote them."
I think I said Okey Dokey. I think I was then thrown out of the Man Club.
BEATLES HAIKU TAKE ONE:
Long for yesterday
Love was such an easy game
To play yesterday
BEATLES HAIKU TAKE TWO:
Came down upon head
Maxwell's silver hammer came
Bang bang she was dead
BEATLES HAIKU TAKE THREE:
Band begins to play
In the town where I was born
Yellow Submarine
BEATLES HAIKU TAKE FOUR:
Eleanor Rigby
Picked rice in church where wedding
Was lonely people
BEATLES HAIKU TAKE FIVE:
Do not make it bad
nah nah nah nah nah nah nah
Hey Jude be afraid

Officially, you can only be thrown out of the Man Club if you say "Okelly-dokelly" and "Right-a-right-a-rooni-dooski!" I can jump on dis bandwagon, but I have to change the rules up and mix songs.
BEATLES HAIKU TAKE SIX (unrequited postal carrier crushes)
Please Mr. Postman:
Mailman, Bring Me No More Blues
(P.S. I Love You)
BEATLES HAIKU TAKE SEVEN (the milkman gets caught visiting the wife)
Get Back, Let It Be
Keep Your Hands Off My Baby
Oh, You Can't Do That
Girls always want to change the rules.
Cuz I'm the tax man
I tax money earned and spent
unless you are rich
(phew, I like this one better...that nazi stuff you had us writing last time was tough on the conscience!)
An excellent contribution from Anonymous, and very appropriate for tax month '06. The nazi stuff is always hard on the conscience; if only it had been hard for Adolf...All the more reason to lampoon his weaselly little mustachio.
Paul McCartney Dies.
Not even a day later
"Ringo's New Beatles"
How about:
Joan was quizzical,
studied pataphysical
Science in the home.
Maxwell Edison,
majoring in medicine,
calls her on the phone.
Back in school again,
Maxwell plays the fool again,
teacher gets annoyed.
She tells Max to stay
when the class has gone away
so he waits behind.
PC 31
Said "We've caught a dirty one."
Maxwell stands alone.
Rose and Valerie,
screaming from the gallery,
say he must go free.
