Haiku Contest For “Diwali”

Sunday, November 5, 2006

It’s time for one of those famous LITO haiku contests. This week it will be about the episode Diwali.

I think we’ll stick with just haikus. The Limericks didn’t bring in a lot of competitors. (And it may have scared a few away.)

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.

Don’t blame the big man
Kevin has a foot disease
That JAM not as sweet.

I turn it over to you…

    Jim’s in a back seat
    Pam is in the driver’s seat
    What did her text say?

    The Kama Sutra
    Have a happy Diwali
    These are not my shoes

  3. Cynthia says:

    Andy and Jim sang
    “Tuna! Are you kidding me?!”
    Andy was impressed

    Also, though you stated that we didn’t have to make limericks, I couldn’t resist. Here is my (feeble) attempt.

    While Jim and Andy drank booze
    Michael sang about hindus
    He reached a new low
    After Carol said no
    Then he said, “these aren’t my shoes”

  4. Sarah says:

    Ready to party?
    Big Tuna is so cute drunk!
    Karen knows this too…

  5. J says:

    First time for Pichael?
    I hope Jim comes to save her.
    Pam is not for Mike.

  6. A.M. says:

    Dancing, food, and lights
    Diwali brings love and loss
    Hindu Halloween

  7. Kayla says:

    Does Jim get message
    that Pam is sending to him
    will we ever know?

    Jim rides bike to work
    it makes him sweaty *smile*
    Karen says cute basket

    Michael gets up nerve
    ask Carol to marry him
    can we talk alone?

    Diwali party
    food, dancing, and proposal
    take off your shoes, please

    1 2 3 take shot
    karen dumps hers in trash can
    holds her liquor well

  8. dee says:

    jim is fitting in.
    “tuna! are you kidding me?”
    “you okay?” “so good.”

  9. Jake says:

    “Oh no! What is this?
    Angie didn’t do her job…
    These are not my shoes!”

  10. Blooh says:

    ARM passed out
    Dwight played guitar for Mike’s song
    Angela ate bread

  11. Scott says:

    I guess I wasn’t the only one ready with some limericks, so here they are…

    It’s party time for Diwali
    Everyone eats and is jolly
    Then Michael supposes
    So he simply proposes
    Now he’s regretting his folly

    Pam is not in a funk
    And Jim is just getting drunk
    Now Karen is there
    To give us a scare
    Is their relationship sunk?

  12. Grace says:

    Pam texted Jim
    But he wasnt sober
    is that realtionship over?
    i hope not

    Diwali
    texts, proposals, drinks
    what should an office fan think?
    Michael loses his missus
    tries to give pam his kisses
    jim gets drunk, pam’s texts are sunk
    what will happen next?
    what did it say in that text?
    texts,proposals,drinks
    Diwali

    My haiku:

    Haikus are easy
    But sometimes they don’t make sense
    Refrigerator

    Sorry it wasn’t related to the episode, but I took artistic license and decided to go with it.

    Tip Goes the Shot Glass
    Karen Does Not Drink whiskey
