Mondays mean back to work, monday night football, and a LITO haiku contest. This week with Grief Counseling we have so many scenes to choose from.
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.
PS, I saw that a few of you suggested Limericks. I think that’d be fun too. Let’s try limericks next week.
But for now, here is my haiku:
He is stealing our Pam from class.
Out for her heart too?
And now it’s your turn. We pick the winner on thursday morning. This week the top three finishers will get to pick any Office episode they want from the iTunes store. Fun.
A cap detated
And Toby’s kill laid to rest
Charlie Brown’s good grief
A killer robot
Cannot contend with the strength
Of a man and baby
Jim searches for chips.
On quest for Karen’s heart too?
Pam liked Sun Chips, right?
Bird coffin burning
Pam sings with Dwight recorder
Closure for Michael
Dwight laughs at Michael
Do you need pen or coffee?
Down warehouse he goes.
Good Grief Michael Scott
5 stages of grief he does
bird and former boss
Pam got her new car
has air bags and cup holders
Roy wants go for ride.
Karen needs some chips
They tried the vending machine
Did you check … your butt?
Down to the warehouse,
Michael waddles like a duck.
“Don’t mind if I do!”
Kevin’s gig is up
Michael knows Bernie’s movie
Grief is not a game
moral must be high!
Roy saves Pam, but Michael waits
chips were found next door
Stanley not amused
poor uncle Mufasa, died
outdoor funeral
Pam’s aunt used to box
Ryan’s cousin was a king
Kevin’s friend? Bernie!
Just like poor Ed Truck,
The bird’s beak was detated.
Thank God for Pam’s box.
Office life lessons:
Be gay, but don’t drink and drive.
One pays. One does not.
Ed Truck’s head was lost;
Where could it be? In some ice?
Or in an oil drum?
Karen prefers Herr’s
As well as Jim’s affection
Does Jim prefer hers?
Pam likes French Onion
Karen seeks elusive Herr’s
Babes like Jim and chips
Ed Truck should have ducked
That truck took poor Ed Truck’s head
“No-Head Ed” got trucked!
Hey, as far as limericks go, maybe each week the contestants could have the option of doing either limericks or haikus–the best overall poem (whether haiku or limerick) wins.
A bird set ablaze
will not rise from the ashes,
because Dwight stomped him.
Toby helps them grieve,
but Michael has other plans.
Burn, little bird, burn.
Girl advice from Jim:
When they get pissy at you,
give potato chips.
A dead bird is found.
Flush it? Cram it in a can?
No, no. We’ll burn it!
Pam, her singing voice
Cries a distance, to Stamford
Where her true love is
Ed Truck died alone
But the bird had many friends
Just like Michael Scott!
Pam comforts Michael
and mourns her dead boxer aunt.
Said Charlie, “good grief!”
We lost dear Ed Truck.
His capa was detated–
no head for comfort.
What a way to go!
Dead at Dunder-Mifflin’s door.
Funeral at four.
Two-thirds scale robot
to honor the headless Truck–
with a six foot cord.
Karen thinks that he’s
All that and a bag of salt
And vinegar chips
Ryan takes pride in
Pam’s little “lyin” game. He’s
King of the jumgle.
Kevin catches on
But really, Kevin? Really?
Even Mike gets it.
Ryan has so much pride and full of it
Karen also thinks she is the tooth fairy
Kevin is the only sensible one of them all
Mike really gets it
