signalman

TV passes time
But I'd rather be driving
And clinch some counties


corco

Hey there signalman
"Left lane bandits" is only
four syllables long

signalman

Thanks corco, didn't
Use the right combo of words
I edited it

Mr. Matté

Last Sat. on my bike
Tried to clinch Route 5-3-3
Bound Brook closed for fair

hbelkins

Going to road trip
Vermont is where I am bound
For this weekend's meet


Government would be tolerable if not for politicians and bureaucrats.

?

Are you driving up
via I 90, then back
that way again home

hbelkins

Negatory, sir
Clinching counties and highways
in P A, N Y

Route Fifteen today
then Two Twenty tomorrow
then into N Y

Will clinch all counties
except those on Long Island
then enter Vermont

Clinch V T counties
on Friday before the meet
then back to N Y

I Eighty Eight clinch
is the plan for my trip home
then south to P A

will take Eighty west
to US Route Two Nineteen
and then will clinch it

After that the plan
is to find the fastest way
back to Kentucky


Government would be tolerable if not for politicians and bureaucrats.

Good stuff, fun indeed
If you pass through Geneva
Hit me up, briefly

My cell number is
on facebook, and my dorm lies
close to route fourteen.

I can meet you for
lunch. I know a good place in
town. Cheap too, and quick.

So when you pass through
great Ontario county
please give me a call

On Thurs or Friday.
Though on Thurs I have class, from
twelve to three PM.

And Friday from three
to four-thirty, but not fret
for reasons I see.

esoteric is
this poem getting, and fast
but alas, I write more

Haikus are fun, clearly
turns moods to good from dreary
short poems, merely

Rhyming, this is new,
but a haiku can rhyme too.
If not, it will sue.

South park is funny
and by that I mean punny
My nose is runny.

Takumi

A rhyming haiku?
Bravo, sir, very well done.
Two poems in one.

Olive Garden must be stopped.  I must stop them.

Don't @ me. Seriously.

When I was a kid,
A teacher docked me some points
When my haiku rhymed.
"You know, you never have a guaranteed spot until you have a spot guaranteed."
—Olaf Kolzig, as quoted in the Washington Times on March 28, 2003,
commenting on the Capitals clinching a playoff spot.

"That sounded stupid, didn't it?"
—Kolzig, to the same reporter a few seconds later.

yanksfan6129

Is that really true?
That teacher did have the flu--
least, he had no clue.

I had to struggle
To write this haiku saying
Teacher was female.

I seem to recall
She said Japanese haiku
Have lines that don't rhyme.

I don't speak nor read
Any form of Japanese
So couldn't argue.

Japanese letters
Are part of three alphabets.
Kanji is hardest.

This is the wrong way!
Make a U-Turn and go back
to Interstate 5.

...The first two lines rhyme!
So should I even bother
To complete this one?

Vans with Kansas plates
Drivers paid minimum wage
Meh, it's a paycheck.

Innerbelt rebuild
We needed it yesterday
When will it be done?

Fix our crowded roads
I think we can pay for it
Tea Party says no.

I like roundabouts
Better than a four-way stop
Some drivers fear change.

Yellow light's too short
Brake and set off driver-cam
Go and get ticket.

Where's my flying car?
Actually, it exists
It just costs too much.

Looking for a forum thread
Why can't I search by title?
All I need sometimes.

One-way pairs work well
But not for pedestrians
Say city planners.

One-ways can be calm
Just lower the speed limit,
Add parking and trees.
Wait, it's all Ohio? Always has been.

Nirvana attained
No more clinching Interstates
Unless jammed in one's tape deck.

yes, what is with Kansas?  I see an unusual number of commercial vehicles outside of that state (i.e. in Arizona, California) with Kansas plates.

Middle of nowhere.
I assume the van is white.
Wait at the crew change.
Keep right except to pass.  Yes.  You.
Visit scenic Orleans County, NY!
Male pronouns, please.

Wish to remain vague
Though I think you're on to me
Arn't most work vans white?
