Midtown Lunch New York
So much good food but I pick
Shitty burrito
-wayne

Thou dumb lazy slore
Stop conforming and head to
El Rey de Sabor
-max

I haven't been called
a conformist since high school.
Are you a goth chick?

Heinous burning smell
People run. Terrorists come?
No, Chipotle fart
-wayne

Chipotle sucks ass
Then ass blows liquidy gas
Damn you crappy food
-ESNY

You should probably
see a doctor about that.
As soon as you can.

Shout ‘Immigration’ at the Store
See the staff run for door
Serve ones self,haw haw haw.
-Rudy McBagel

As if New York food
isn't almost completely
cooked by immigrants.

McBagel’s haiku
Is syllabically violating
all up and down yo

Know how haiku works?

They aren’t haiku. There is no seasonal reference.
I hate people who remember 5-7-5 and think that’s all there is to it.
-Caryn

Caryn, YES!!!
-poetryman

haiku sometimes have
seasonal references, but
not always, caryn.

to everyone else,
thanks so much for your haiku
we do love them so.
-erica

Believe it or not
we’ve heard that before, caryn
my standard reply:

Wikipedia
Says that “kigo” is common
Not really required

Also, hate you too
Food is nature-related.
That probably counts
-the fuzzkill

my dearest caryn,
why ruin the fun now, its
starting to get warm
-Danny

Caryn so anal
With burrito so vegan
In fucking winter
-wayne

A short follow-up:
Life is more than what you learn

Unwrapped burrito
Steak tastes like little turds
In any season
-putz

Caloric excess
Crap piled on a tortilla
Any time of year
-stevenp

I like your "kigo"
How dare you malign my bowl?!
You just don't get it...

BTW, if this ML’er actually knows/works with these people, he/she should submit their names for mandatory euthanization. I can’t recall the last time I ever saw something sl lame and plain wrong.

I share burritos
