schplog

a man of wisdom

must be used to refusals

said Tom knowingly

those goshdarn hippies

stinking up Ashbury street

said Tom Haight-fully

San Francisco slums

now I’ve got you by the loins

said Tom tenderly

old German movies

never really get going

said Tom haltingly

Oh yeah? Is that the way it is? You want to combine categories? Ha! Two can schplog at that game! Behold the art of the vengeful Tom Swifty Haiku!

Beware sharp edges

I hope you can catch my drift

said Tom pointedly

potato breakfast

egg sausage with extra pie*

haiku-lesterol

*rhymes with “a cherry blossom drifts by”
