Haiku Contest For “The Convention”
Another episode has come and gone, so let’s recap it with Haikus. This week it’s the convention. (I know we didn’t select a winner from last week. Sorry. The days just went by so fast. We’ll do it this time.)
For those of you visiting for the first time, 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 that weeks episode. It can sum up the whole plot, or just one part that you liked. After a couple days, we’ll choose a winner.
Here’s my haiku for The Convention
Whether people or big phones
He pushes buttons
You’re up…

I’m in meetings all day
I can’t stay on top of you
twenty four seven
Angela comes too
Is there a key for Jane Doe
Dwight got a hooker
Michael is best boss
Jim left Scranton because Pam
He was let down twice
Josh funny as me
Does he have two girlfriends?
because I have two

Dwight got a hooker
Jim wants to call Pam badly
Mike hopes it’s urine

Don’t monkey me, A.R.M.
I hope it’s urine

Dwight got a hooker.
Does Michael have two girlfriends?
Jim needs to tell Pam.
Paper airplane king.
Makes him the best boss ever.
Jan likes him better.
Hey Pam, no I’ll give
the general specifics
tomorrow, bye Pam
Have fun on your date,
Everyone say hi to Pam.
Jim don’t stall. “Hi Pam.”
October 2nd, 2006 09:24
Jim has Dwight’s room key
Dwight ordered a prostitute
Now how to tell Pam?
October 2nd, 2006 09:43
Jim, Dwight, and Michael
Telling their old jokes again
Except inside jokes
October 2nd, 2006 09:57
Michael wants baby
Pam says sure in thirty years
He won’t want one then
Dwight girl is monkey
she says he not manager
Dwight is A.R.M
Pam went on blind date
he was very dull, not Jim
Jim needs to make move
Um Um Um Um Um
Um Um Um Um Um Um Um
Um Um Um Um Um
October 2nd, 2006 10:30
Jim was rejected
Pam’s date, not a connection
when will they hook-up?
October 2nd, 2006 13:16
Jim is a nice guy
to go to Michael’s party
the Bus wouldn’t come
October 2nd, 2006 13:29
Jan is desperate
Married Josh is off-limits!
It’s lonely on top
October 2nd, 2006 14:09
Button up, Beesly
Flenderson flees at flirting
Halpert hangs in there
October 2nd, 2006 14:20
My Hero Michael,
Should be a bottle capper?
Oh where will it end?
October 2nd, 2006 14:22
so funny are you
the ellusive Inside Joke
someday i may know
October 2nd, 2006 14:37
Since this is a Japanese poem I figured I’d do
it in Japanese! (translation below)
日の初め
飲み会約束
誰も入ない？
At day’s beginning
A drinking party promise
Where is everyone?
October 2nd, 2006 15:31
empty three-oh-eight
nobody at the party
jim to the rescue
October 2nd, 2006 15:38
Stamford or Scranton?
Promotion and inside jokes
or urine stained sheets?
October 2nd, 2006 18:34
Toby and Pam? Weird.
will we need to replace Jam
with Tam? I hope not.
Here’s too much information
Michael’s hotel room bedsheet.
fails the blacklight test.
I’m sorry Michael.
Josh is funnier than you.
And less racist, too.
Michael parties with
Dwight. Alone, with no lights on.
Better than with Oscar.
Michael makes a plane
from paper. It falls to earth
faster than profits.
Michael’s sheets are…ugh.
I don’t want to know what he
was doing last night.
Dwight
October 3rd, 2006 01:22
His plans for Philly:
Wants to be “Estimated!”
But plays with Blackberry.
October 3rd, 2006 04:43
Toby hesitates.
Michael scores Hammermill.
Still no Jam for us.
October 3rd, 2006 05:15
Damn, these haikus are
so good! I shouldn’t even
bother entering.
Philly convention:
the general specifics?
Estimate me, Jan!
October 3rd, 2006 06:57
Creed is so funny
Angela is office bitch
he never met her
Pam is dating now
I would so go for it if
didn’t have girlfriend
Who would Jim have told
when he open up Dwight room
wanted to call Pam
October 3rd, 2006 11:00
Jam: Sweet like sugar
But Toby, Pam, Jim mashed up?
Ew, tastes like Toe-Jam!
October 3rd, 2006 11:23
Oooh, thought of more:
Michael has no aim
When throwing paper airplanes
But nails those big sales
Dude, stick to cartoons;
Your date skills are as lame as
saying “Don’t Go There”
Dwight’s little monkey
Took the slow train to Philly
Meet Tarzan’s Jane… Doe
Gangly Jim sipping
Michael’s cosmopolitans
Sounds like a party
Creed loses his recall
When encountered with redheads
That bitch packs good lunches
I passed up that cot
To be fed fries and ketchup;
I became that guy.
And since I write this from Philly, I’m allowed this last one:
Philadelphia
Smells like cheesesteaks? Not really;
It’s more like urine.
October 3rd, 2006 16:55
A winner picked soon?
Only fifty hours ’til
Dwight tries takeover.
October 4th, 2006 06:08
Kristina had me rolling with this portion:
Creed loses his recall
When encountered with redheads
That bitch packs good lunches
I know my vote doesn’t count and it just misses being 5-7-5, but it’s the best.
