Mando-inspired Haiku

[mandodude]

'Bout my former bands...
All are HONEST-TO-GOODNESS!
(he says with a wink...)

[Ted Eschliman]

"Scroll ENVY!..." Oh!... Thought:
New Gibson Signature name,
How 'bout "######."

Great for Guy 'Boomers.
Now you're able. Play all night!
Note: best solid wood(s).

[mandodude]

Neat idea, Ted...
"Personalized" instruments!
Octave mando's mine!

;-)
;-)

[Joe F]

A lifelong southpaw.
Right or left hand mandolin?
Stink at either one.


"Gibson makes the best!"
"Gibson makes a piece of junk!"
Debate rages on.

[bratsche]

"Thumper123"
uses only one hand to
play his instrument.

How long did it take
our intrepid SysAdmin
to ban his account?

;-)

[mandopete]

Bad Board Sys Admin!
Removed Internet Cafe
What!? Talk mandolins!?

See Scott, you just can't stop it now matter how hard you try

Ah, the good ol' days,
nothing but Reverend Ted.
Now, what is bluegrass?

[Django Fret]

I wonder how Mandodude planned
This elaborate ruse, oh so grand?
No matter what name,
His response is the same...
“I used to play in that band!”

(Sorry, all the haiku must have inspired the mandolimerick.)

[w8dp]

Never thought that I would see
My mando get the best of me - not yet

On the other hand as my eyes start
to cross - it shows me who is boss

Time spent with my mando is a sure bet
It's still boss - and I still fret

[mandodude]

Django Fret, you are the LIMERICK MASTER, man!!

Y'know, back when I played with "Elaborate Ruse," our bass player used to come up with limericks... not nearly as good as yours, though!

GREAT STUFF, buddy!

Mandodude ;-)

[mandopete]

There once was a sysop named Scott,
Who got upset when his Netizens fought.
So the Internet Cafe,
Went away one sunny day.
But Haiku still remained hot!

(Sorry, I could not help myself)

[OdnamNool]

Pardon anal-ness
But I believe it should be
Tch Tch TCH Tichenor

Tichenor I would think
Pronounced with two syllables
Such as this: Tish-nur

[Django Fret]

Some players obsess on their scrolls,
Still others on their #“F” or “A” holes.
Yet it seems clear to me
Our objective should be:
Play the best music found in our souls.


(With my apologies in advance to any Haiku thread purists)

[mad dawg]

This was Haiku thread
But by all means contribute
With all clever verse

[Jim M.]

Four strings on fiddle
Eight strings on a Mandolin
Why not twice as loud?

[BenE]

Dale, Dale the Texas man
Sending the MK about the Land
I'm not on the list
Nor do I care to be
But when you get your Pheonix
you can send it to me!!!

[Django Fret]

MK posts bring out lovers and haters.
Some viewing the buyers as traitors!
It’s sure good to see
The fine opportunity
In this MK touring program of Cater’s.

[David Landgraf]

All mandolin players are lucky,
But the mando I own is quite yucky.
To say it in verse,
I don't know what's worse:
My poetry or my Kentucky!

[Joe F]

Dale's M-K tour
Lets us all give it a try.
Thank you, Mister C!

[mad dawg]

Everytime I visit this thread, I die laughing! Keep it up everyone -- exceptional work!!!

[Django Fret]

Some think it will make them play well
But for most its much harder to tell.
Some think it’s quite sick,
That a picker would pick
With the back of a poor turtle’s shell.

[mad dawg]

Tortoise shell plectrum
Sad fate for reptilian
Let's use bovine feet

[mandodude]

Lessons from the Arts
Dustin Hoffman... "Graduate"
Just one word... PLASTIC!

[David Landgraf]

Mando, my new love.
Another lonely night for
my jealous guitar

[Django Fret]

When I see them for sale, I must pass,
Though I’m sure I could play one with class.
If I bought me that Loar,
Life would be such a bore
That for me there would be nada MAS.

[mandolooter]

Loud, clear, tone for days
Its my Givens mandolin...
Im so glad I splurged!

Low end rumbling
Ringing highs penetrating
My own tone-monster
