Welcome, PTT.
The best game thread of them all,
My thread on Haikus.

Just in case you ask,
"What the heck is a haiku?"
Please, stop wondering.

A haiku's a poem.
In it, each line has a set
num. Of syllables.

In the first, it's five.
Next has seven syllables.
And the last has five.

I can hear "BORRING!!!"
Being shouted all out loud.
But wait, there is more.

Type in "sudo mount",
Space, "/dev/djwings",
And cover your ears.

System of a Down...
Loud, noisy, political.
That's my kind of band!

Then, the book Honku.
Zen antidote to road rage.
With timeless stuff like:

"Check Engine light on.
Unscrew dash and stab with pen.
Check Engine light off."

"Seattle traffic-
The only thing capable of
Stopping Microsoft."

"Do you drive it, or
Use it for prostate exams?
What is a Ford Probe?"

The question remains,
Should I keep all of this up?
Or stop the madness?

Nah, you can decide.
Come on, make some up yourself.
It's a piece of cake.

DJ writes haikus,
and posts them on PTT.
This is truly fun.

Why do I do this?
Maybe I just like to write.
I don't think it's that.

Maybe I am weird.
Now that's a credible guess,
I have OCD.

Meh, I think it's 'cuz
I've got 6 hours to wait
Until Hannukah.

Or maybe it's 'cuz
I wrote quite a few of them
'bout a week ago.

What the heck? Maybe
It's because of both. This ain't
Two radio buttons.

Thought of something weird.
What if improv haikus were
A new kind of rap?

Who's seen "8 Mile"?
Now, imagine Eminem
Spitting out haikus.

"What the hell is this?
Hey, Snoop Dogg got a boob job.
That shirt don't fit you."

That leaves one question:
What'd the DJ be spinning?
Real un-gangsta stuff.

Thanks a lot, Racer,
But MPlayer's acting up.
Screen goes blank, then freeze.

What a damn bummer,
Now I can't watch M.O.Vs.
All your apps like this?

RealPlayer Gold's nice.
I like it, I'd like it more
If audio worked.
