Upon the ocean
Searching for a cork."
I really enjoyed this one Jan! Excellent.

From the man's right hand
Floating in the sea of rye
The cork asked him why.



get some new glasses,” said he.
“I can’t tell you why,
blithe or married, all
the lasses smile at me when
comin’ through the rye.”

wan and sardonic with rye
that attracted girls.
The girls who liked him
liked him before they new him
but not long after.



I think in silence
The answer to everything
Can't be forty-two.
I kinda got that from A Hitchhiker's Guid to the Galaxy. Oh well.

You must be joking
When you say the universe
Is plain and simple.
Blech. Too sentimental for my taste. I'm taking five.

By the way nice way to relate with '42', Michelle.
Kyra, you OUGHT to read more of Douglas Adams. ;)

My eyebrow raises
Why, why this coded language?
I sigh my distress

This flashing computer screen
I can't help but laugh
I am tired today. I'll give this another shot later.

Obviously Ky
No one is as cool as us
We totally rock

Nothing was left but
tiny flecks, a few shreds of
a string bikini,
a few frames of the
old Star Treks, a torn still from
I Dream of Jeannie.

Do not fall asleep
You'll get hurt-or even killed
Because of Freddy.
Stupidest haiku ever, but who cares.

of the group of regal verse
you must like goo too.
At least that is true
of me, because I'm in and out
with the verbal Pooh!*
*And of course I am referring to a bear who likes honey.

posted a verse extolling
the joys of honey,
in rhyming couplets,
and--what was much worse--it was
urbane and funny.

Funny you had a bird die that way, because you are the first person I've met who has mentioned this. Within an hour of getting my first driving lesson with 'Young Drivers' a robin killed himself on my windshield at my eye height. The instructor had never experienced that before. Several years later, while driving on the freeway in a 1 ton delivery truck on a hot simmer day, a bird hit my side vent window and bounced off my chest, filling the cab with feathers that floated around. Now that was weird!
Oh! Welcome back. I am sure you were missed! LoL.
