Goodnight Guy! Thank you, Ryan! :)
How fresh each day, howsunny, when you’re married to
a Playboy bunny!
(Hello, Ryan! I figured you must be sound asleep about now.)
Hello, M. It has been a long day and I should be asleep, but my mind is buzzing. Haiku about Playboy bunnies won't help!
(I hope you manage to get some sleep! I’d better be off to the laundry room so Boss will have something to wear that’s starched and ironed.)
The vantage of heels.
Her fake fur coat and my robe.
Glimpses of ankles!

Great lines! Particularly “The vantage of heels.”
(This doesn’t follow, for which I apologize. I came across the phrase “happy medium” a few minutes ago in my reading. It seemed to yearn for a place in a 5-7-5 verse.)She was stupidly
content, her psychic readings
utter tedium,
till one client, bored
to torment, tried to strike a
happy medium.
Haha! M, you are on a roll. Great writing.
Thank you, Ryan! I owe many of my verses to some chore or other I was attempting to avoid.
.In the playboy patch
Brer Rabbit was found alone
wearing stilettos.
M, that was one of your best plays on words! Very, very funny!
With carrot in hand,Brer opens his book, large font
with lots of pictures.
Instant immersion:Brer’s Of Carrots and Cocktails,
the large-type version.
The old stale money,long since faded to yellow,
was his swan song.
The quack’s prognosis:“You’re out of luck. Fate swung first.
You were slow to duck.”
Thank you, Alex!The horse stopped, flung the
rider into a tree, neighed,
and thought, “Whoa is me!”
From Fall's bookmakerthe rider takes a leaf, gets
back in the saddle
RotFL! M, so funny.From that thick tree limb
she yelled until she was hoarse
enough to cantor
down the tree trunk where she found
her horse was now her rider.
[[A silly thing. But M's was so hard to follow.]]
It seemed a momentthey’d awaited, at long last
reincarnated:
Bucephalus, back
for a date with--you guessed it!--
Catherine the Great.
Lol! These are all fun to read!
Good Morning from here :)

'Nay,' rejoiced the steedafter some horsing around,
'Far greater than Great.'
Feather stitch my name
"Catherine," my featured name
en caparison.

“They get so tiresome,bridge and euchre,” loudly gasped
and moaned Frau Blucher.
to Frank's great delight(ready to choke her) Blucher
sits, deals strip poker
LOL! So funny, Ryan, Estella and M.Blucher said 'Hold em.
The tall Texan is bluffing
about buffing buff.'
Soon the horse showed noremorse but knew ev’ry speck
of the Rider deck.
Very clever, M. Now to work Tarot into our Haiku! Perfect.She showed her colour,
In the minors stuck was she,
A Knight with dull swords.
I don’t have time to review the Knight (no pun intended). This will have to do:Everyone knew the
Queen of Rods preferred lances
long, and muscled mods.
At Ryan's suggestion:
The queen likes to spin
a tale of mounted warriors-
then her mind went *poof*
I tried, I really tried, sorry :D

(Leslie, this is the best I can do before laundry chores.)Not content to ride
a desk, he went off on a quest
for the Rubenesque.
When women are a
region’s bounty, one becomes
a county mounty.
Lol! M!!
I'm having a hard time writing now, so, that's difficult for me to follow :)
Good morning!

Good morning, Leslie!It’s rainy and cold, and (sigh)
I’ve got clothes to fold.
It is better to
write haiku while doing chores,
than not write at all.
Hahaha and of course that's silly. I'm just too tired to think :)

Lonesome, she sang, “I’llbe home for Christmas, unless
someone rescues me . . .”
