Too much alcohol
Eats into your charisma;
Not enough does, too!

How far can a mango?
Can it reach the moon?
“The first mangoes on the moon!”
Is a trip like that too soon?
“One small step for mangoes…
…a giant leap for the imagination.”
Mangoes in a fruit shop
Is as far as reality goes
But, when man has blazed a stellar path;
Will mangoes follow?
Who knows?

So, I pick up my pen;
But, I have nothing to write;
And, that being the case,
I put my pen back down again.
And go and make some coffee.
This happens a lot.
I try to write
When the muse is absent,
And nothing comes from it – it’s a fruitless task;
And, I ask myself:
‘Is there not an idea
In the ideas barrel?’
‘No.’ I answer.
‘Not a one.’
And my writing, for the moment,
Is done.

‘Sink’ @baffled #HaikuChallenge #Haiku
“This ink is broken!”
“Broken? You can’t break this ink.”
“I was nibbling it.”

Never cover a camel in caramel
As an offering to the Sun-God Ra.
It might seem like a good idea;
But, I assure you it’s not, Let’s be clear;
They get the hump,
On you they jump,
Then they spit in your eye, do you hear?

It Was National Bubble Wrap Appreciation Day, Yesterday!
And, like so many things,
Once the bubble wrap
Had had Its day
It was discarded –
Like a lost mitten –
In an off-hand way.

A desert trade
A far star fades
A cast retreats
Cats eat
Deer wear eats fast
Stare stare tears
Fears are created
Crates create a feast
West East
Adze fads
Stars are treats.

I dropped a pound
Upon the ground
It rolled away
(It being round – ish)
I looked quite hard;
It could not be found.
I walked away
Without a sound;
An unprofitable day,
I’ll be bound.
In the dim and distant future
Someone shall find that coin;
But, I won’t be there waiting
To tell them that it’s ‘moin!’
