your comment prompts my memory

'twas said I know not when but by a footballer when asked about an upcoming game, I think

"I never predict the future, AND I NEVER WILL".

'Twas deliberate.
I've never made a mistake
(And I never will).

"I've always said reesetee"
But I steer clear of haiku
though I can count to six.

7 months ago reesetee said:

My apologies.
Uselessness was always right.
Brilliant guy, he is.

7 months ago uselessness said:

Hold on there, reesetee.
I sure didn't get it wrong.
I've always said "reesetee."

7 months ago reesetee said:

No worries, my friend.
Everyone gets it wrong once.
Someday, better nick.

7 months ago Asativum said:

Oops. My bad, reesetee.
I'll just stick to News Haikus.
Plus, I'm out of dimes.

7 months ago reesetee said:

I hate to tell you
"ReeseTee" has two syllables.
So much for haiku.

7 months ago Asativum said:

Well said, reesetee,
And you as well, uselessness.
S: please pass the bag.

7 months ago reesetee said:

Or sometimes it's like
Hippopotamus stomach
And pickled pig lips.

7 months ago uselessness said:

It's drugs and Wordie;
They go together like, um...
Like desktops and mud?

7 months ago seanahan said:

This has gotten weird.
Someone is smoking something.
Perhaps a dime bag.

7 months ago Asativum said:

Nice of them to make
Their name five syllables, no?
(And thanks, uselessness.)

7 months ago uselessness said:

Say, Asativum,
That Wikipedia link
Made a great haiku.

7 months ago Asativum said:

Once cheap, copper soared,
Til a cent cost more to make.
Now it's just habit.

7 months ago reesetee said:

I should explain, then.
I meant the color copper.
Weird little brown coin.

7 months ago Asativum said:

Just a copper shell;
Most of it seems to be zinc.

7 months ago reesetee said:

And what about the
Penny? Why is it copper?
I just don't get it.

7 months ago uselessness said:

A dime is so small
A nickel is much bigger
Money is a joke

7 months ago yarb said:

When I was at school
"dime bar" was playground slang for
a doltish person.

7 months ago reesetee said:

Make that six haikus
This is Wordie, after all:
We can't help ourselves.

7 months ago Asativum said:

Five haikus on change,
Didn't even cost a dime.
Ha! How cool is that?

7 months ago seanahan said:

I stole some ice cream
Then uselessness dropped the dime
Now I am in jail

7 months ago uselessness said:

What a special coin.
I can see why it was dear.
I wish mine did drugs.

7 months ago oroboros said:

Yes, you may wonder,
But the dime was on steroids.
Big controversy!

7 months ago uselessness said:

Ice cream for ten cents?
In 2008, you say?
Just where do you live?

7 months ago oroboros said: A 10-cent Haiku

Hello shiny friend,
I will never let you go.
Oops! An ice cream truck.
