Along to taunting came daft
Who was wanting in verbal craft
We read his few lines
Which just about rhymed
And at his expense had a laugh.

Why thank you Daft Nick is my answer,
'tis our habit to rhyme here as planned sir,
stanzas in blank verse to hyku,
There's poety here if we like you,
A limerik, a sonnet, all under our bonnets to tickle the fancy of lancers.

Bah! Feeble imitations at best! Do ye not know that a traditional limerick requires a certain number of syllables in each line? *Sigh* Probably not. Let me enlighten ye...

Line 1 - 9 syllables
Line 2 - 9 syllables
Line 3 - 6 syllables
Line 4 - 6 syllables
Line 5 - 9 syllables(1)

Your syllables are all over the place! Gah, ye have no appreciation o' the art! *Sniff* I wish Taw were here; he'd back me up (on this at least). See my desperation? Wantin' Taw to stop by is not a good sign. Evil Mullah *grumble*.

Anyway, back on topic haikus, eh? I could write one o' them, but I would rather try some acrostic or monorhyme poetry! Or even better, go for some ye olde grande classical poetry in the style of something like "Beowulf"! Go on, what do ye say? Let the "skalding" begin (heh heh, geddit?).

(1)Technically, you can have between 7-10 syllables in lines 1,2 and 5 and 5-7 in lines 3 and 4 (as some have said), but you guys even managed to exceed those numbers! Shame!

In dank burrow of fetid air and matted hare
Keening for orthodoxy in rules of rhyme, not reason
Slimed paws scrabbling at gummy keyboard
Whiskers twitching and flicking rank condensation into its eyes
The Esquilax squeaks.

Whassat 'en? A strange fusion of free-form verse, limericks and haikus methinks! Indeed, a veritable chimaera of poetry! How very appropriate Indy, good stuff .

PS to Nickless.

Thanks for the vote! All hail the Daftiness that is the Daftness of Nickless!

Oy, what's with all of this "daft love" (pun definitely intended)? He walks off for months and then scampers back in and receives all of the accolades! I could do that! I could just vanish without a word! Damn people! Don't know what they have until it is gone *grumble*. Where's the love for the benevolent King of Esquilaxitavia?

A thread on Lancer's once existed,
T'was seen by some as being twisted,
Some concerns were expressed,
And despair not repressed,
But in the end the thread persisted.

By my count your own pox ridden attempt failed to measure up to your own ideals you mutated rat. Anyway, I am not about to take lessons on poetry from a flea infested fur-ball.

I could just vanish without a word.

Really? Prove it!

And they say comedy is dead. Pahhh

There once was a chappy called Tors,
Who stirred up some flopsey wars,
Well Dafty missed most
But being the host
I'd be glad if we came up with more.

The rabbit was not so impressed
His talents they clearly were stressed
To keep up the pace
With the rest of the place
So he lurked off as ever depressed.

Well now Dafty' his head was so sore
From his reading these posts gallore
But one thing perplexed
He cried out "oh feck!"
There's no mention of the Emperor?

There's a Capitalist and there's a Bunny
A Swiss and a Mullah with harems of hunnies,
But look high and low
There's One thing won't show
And that Nicholas the Emeporor Funny.

Still there's one little sting in this ditty
Amusing or just downright witty,
Now Dafty is here
Does he really care
Who exactly is this "Tors" Denneti?

Who exactly is this "Tors" Denneti?

That's obvious: You're my Daft twin brother.

And to think you all thought I was really gone

@Indy: I knew I'd lure you over to the Daft side eventually. I sense much Daftness in you.
From now on, you'll be my Daft Aprentice.
