Chocolate Haikus

Posted on July 26, 2012 by pauldelancey

I want chocolate.
Give me all the chocolate
And no one gets hurt.

My sweetheart left me.
But he left the chocolate.
So, it’s all okay.

Oh my chocolate,
Wonderful gift of the gods,
You make the sunrise.

Milk chocolate and
Dark chocolate, yum, yum, yum
You’re the basic food groups.

– Paul De Lancey, The Comic Chef

Bacon Haikus

Posted on July 23, 2012 by pauldelancey

Bacon haikus is the new wave of literature.

I started off with one that oozes elegant simplicity.

Bacon, my bacon.
Bacon, bacon, my bacon.
Bacon, my bacon.

Did Rembrandt like bacon?
I like to think he did or
I’ll sell his paintings.

Bacon tastes so wonderful.
Makes  jobs for heart specialists.
Bacon tastes wonderful.

Pilgrims farming the
Old West always took bacon
God bless America.

America went to
War to defeat the Nazis
And protect bacon.

America is great
With its fine chocolate
With its crisp bacon.

Don’t care what others
Will say, but give me bacon
Or some chocolate.

– Paul De Lancey, The Comic Chef

Haikus From Left Field

Posted on June 25, 2012 by pauldelancey

Why did the chicken
Cross the road? To get all the
way to  other side

I’ve stood on shoulders
Of giant poets to write
My better haikus   : )   (Emoticons don’t count as syllables, neither does an aside. So there.)

The sky is falling!
The sky is falling! Said cute
Miss Chicken Little

Excuse me, officer
Don’t write that nasty ticket
Sun was in my eyes.

Haiku Wednesday

Posted on May 9, 2012 by pauldelancey

Facebook’s Timeline stinks.
Ugh, more death by enhancement.
Five syllable line.

Haiku is diffi
cult. It is so darn hard to
make it come out perf-

My kitchen timer
just rang. My pizza’s ready.
I chortle for joy.

Where are my car keys?
Honey, where are my glasses?
Where is my jacket?

I hate lutefisk
It smells like festering rat
And looks like glue soup.

What is for dinner?
Moroccan berbere kebabs.
Oops, no spices. Eggs.
