Haikus... of Regret

[chris_todd]

One of my favorite web comics is Amy Winfried's "Making Fiends" Another of her projects is "Squid and Frog", and I particularly love the "Haikus... of Regret" segments. Last night, I had a personal experience that inspired me to write one of my own:

When trimming nose hairs
Using sharp, pointy scissors
You should be sober

Since this is a fishy forum, here's another:

When changing water
On your massive Discus tank
Don't forget the Prime

Any other budding Haiku writers have some Haikus of Regret? Let's see how creative our membership can be...

How about this?

New toy for plant tank
CO2 left up too high
Floating rainbow fish

Jim Peck "Tang Ace" says...
Callochromis "good for newb"
Not so much, thanks pal!

Frustration is here
Mbuna are calling me
Reef tank goes bye-bye

haiku

One more water change
haul out the python again
don't forget the prime

I can do this all day

fish saying feed me
running out of fish food fast
need a closer store

 

[dogofwar]

All of my fish

She says they're all brown
I say it has a red eye...
And a brown body

Floating rainbow fish

Tony writes Haiku
My favorite one so far
This club has talent

Frustration is here
Mbuna are calling me
Reef tank goes bye-bye

Gliebig gets obsessed
Malawi has nice fish but
The Dark Side calls you

My contribution --
Too many fish tanks!
My wife is out of control!
Time to build more stands.

I'm feelin' a Haiku of the Month contest coming on...

 

[Tony]

Burial at sea...
Goodbye to my old hap friend
Toilet clogs again

one can never have
too many fishtanks at home
despite spouse worry

too many fishtanks at home
despite spouse worry

Total agreement
With my spikey-haired sister
Where can I put more?

 

[Andrew]

oh dear...

Flat like a pancake
came down from Martin Air Base
Lines of red and blue

 

[Andrew]

Fish are all floating
bright colors, steaming water
stupid cheap heater

 

[mchambers]

more

nitrates are rising
ammonia may be present
overfeeding again

She's home from fish club :wub:
5 more tanks in the basement
You're killing me Fran!

You know, in school my teachers always said "it might help you to just write, Chris. It's like therapy".
20 years later, I'm starting to think they may have had a point!
I have a newfound love and appreciation for poetry.
Unfortunately, I may have to retire from my short lived, yet thoroughly enjoyable carrer, because I much prefer sleeping in the bed with my wife, as opposed to the couch.
