“How We Miss The Office” Haiku Contest

Friday, July 28, 2006

After a couple comments on yesterday’s webisode post, and then seeing a real episode last night on TV, I realized how much I miss the real Office episodes and how I’m ready to have them back again.

So, since we haven’t had a haiku contest (and I’ve had 5 emails in the last two weeks asking for another one), I thought this would be a great topic.

Write about how you miss the Office episodes, how the webisodes aren’t cutting it (no offense to the writers and actors), how it’s been since they stopped airing, what you think about reruns, whatever you want.

(For the new folks, a Haiku is a “Japanese lyric verse form having three unrhymed lines of five, seven, and five syllables, traditionally invoking an aspect of nature or the seasons.” So basically, you have to have three lines of 5, 7 and 5 syllables and they don’t have to rhyme. Of course, instead of nature or season, we are going to write about how we miss The Office and how we’re ready for it to come back.)

Let the poetic mourning begin.

    Bobble-head Dwight in Jello?
    Maybe next season.

    Webisodes too short…
    I NEED Michael, Dwight and Jam!!!
    …Summer over yet?

  6. DwightK says:

    These are my three from yesterday:

    Webisodes: Not fun.
    Where’s Michael being a jerk?
    I want the show back

    Who stole three thousand?
    Oscar says it’s not funny.
    He’s right – it isn’t.

    Jim, pam, dwight, michael -
    All on summer vacation.
    We’re left with the rest.

    ———-
    And my new ones:

    NBC website
    Tries something new with our show.
    But it fails, badly.

    The Webisodes: eh.
    Better than watching grass grow
    But not much better

    Stanley’s all messed up
    Angela turns all creepy
    Webisodes are weird…

    The Office is great.
    Webisodes are not the same
    I need DVDs

    And I thought I’d try a rhyming poem, just for fun:

    Three minutes isn’t enough
    For an Office episode
    The webisodes are rough
    like an unpaved DC road.

    Now they might start being OK,
    At least I hope they might,
    I long to see the day
    When we see them interview Dwight

    (I should mention here, you know
    If you haven’t noticed me say
    Dwight is the best on the show
    My favorite any day)

    We don’t watch The Office for Oscar
    Though Kevin is usually fun
    So I’ll be happy when this whole
    websodes series is done.

    I posted this on nbc board, hope it’s okay to share here too.

    bad Office withdrawl -
    feeling like a large package
    from Todd F Packer

  8. eatlimes. says:

    My life is a bore,
    without Kevin’s odd smile,
    I miss the Office.

  9. Mark of Dignity says:

    Stamford is far, so
    Is September. How odd that
    Both begin with S…

  10. DwightK says:

    Hey, eattimes, guess what?
    You did get Kevin’s smile.
    See Webisode 4

    Haikus, webisodes…
    Poor substitutes for a JAM
    thing; Any port in a storm.

  12. DwightK says:

    Webisodes – they suck.
    I wonder if Michael Scott
    works for NBC

    An experiment -
    that’s what the webisodes are.
    They’re like Frankenstein.

    we don’t like them, no.
    But Office is so great that
    We watch anyway.

  13. MIndy Swank says:

    Watching The Office
    Reading all the articles
    Hurry Season 3!

  14. MIndy Swank says:

    I miss Dwight badly….
    “Question: When will you return?”
    September 14.

  15. ece says:

    always in my head
    jim, pam and jokes
    i anticipate

  16. ece says:

    jim, stay in scranton
    pam, dont get married
    will i be surprised?

  17. Gretchen says:

    Phyllis is funny
    But Meredith, not so much
    Bring back Jim and Pam!

  18. DwightK says:

    Webisodes – I’d rather
    see the Season 2 menus
    on the DVD.

  19. Kayla says:

    tired of repeats
    the office needs to come back
    Jim needs marry Pam

  20. DwightK says:

    Pam is posing nude??
    Office (webisodes) sucking?
    What is going on????

  21. Kayla says:

    Please don’t drag it out
    after Jim kisses Pam, they
    belong together.

  22. Kayla says:

    Dwight bobblehead is
    not enough to entertain
    me till September

  23. DwightK says:

    Kayla -

    Never mind the Dwight
    Bobblehead. The webisodes
    won’t entertain you.

  24. Kayla says:

    DwightK,

    Webisodes, reruns
    will have to do for now till
    the new season starts.

  25. Kayla says:

    Can’t wait to see what
    happens after Jim, Pam kiss
    will she run or stay?

  26. Kayla says:

    Will Michael stay with
    real estate woman or go
    and find his love Jan

  27. Kayla says:

    Dwight and Angela
    try and keep their love secret
    let office find out.

    Ryan can come out
    and sing Dwight loves Angela
    since Dwight blabbed on him.

  28. DwightK says:

    Three Variations on a Theme:

    If they’d worked on the
    Third season instead of the
    webisodes – oh man.

    Why did they waste time
    With the webisodes? Season
    3 could be done now.

    All that work wasted
    on the stupid webisodes
    not on season 3…

    And a rebuttal:

    It’s either reruns,
    or reruns and websodes.
    We have something, right?

    Cut the webisodes
    A break. NBC didn’t
    NEED to do something.

  29. DwightK says:

    I didn’t like them
    At first, But number 5, well,
    It wasn’t so bad.

    Can Angela and Roy
    fix all of the office mess,
    and free jim and pam?

  30. Kayla says:

    Will Roy notice that
    Pam is not home but with Jim
    get him suspicious?

  31. DwightK says:

    I missed a full week
    And we’re still not voting yet?
    I think we are done.

    I thought I’d miss it
    But no; at least now I
    Can vote for myself.
