Winner Announced! Halfing Haiku contest! [The Hamlet of Thumble]

[Macbeth]

Halfling Haikus:

Halflings resemble,
but are legally distinct from,
hobbits (take that Tolkein).

A barrel of mead
bread, cheese, meat, lettuce, and fixings:
makes a halfling snack.

How can a creature
that eats so much every day
still be skinny and short?


And, just for kicks, a Halfling limerick:

There once was the hamlet of Thumble,
who's halflings were not rough and tumble,
they never fight,
and to their invaders' delight,
they always seem prone to bumble.

 

[Barak]

Big trouble ahead!
Monsters on the loose? Heck no!
Oven is broken.

----------

Eat, halflings, eat, eat!
We have to feed our guest well!
And a dragon comes.

----------

Why do guards use spears?
Well because in time of peace,
They serve as a spit.

----------

In town of Thumble,
Halflings travel easily.
They just roll around.

-----------

Well that was fun.

I just really like Hiku.

Pies cool at windows.
Enticing smells waft through town.
Of course we're all rogues!

Shire of Thumble,
Always a delightful place,
Lively and serene.

Words fail to describe
the greatness of your hiku.
I'm really impressed.

The flabby halfling;
Baker is his favored class!
Masterwork muffin?

Would it completely burst your bubble to find out that **MOST** haikus follow a 5/7/5 pattern, not a 5/8/5 pattern?

Unless someone's not telling me something.

Well in this case sir
I myself count five, eight, six.
But it's still funny.

Is somebody not telling you that the "take that Tolkien" hiku DOES follow the 5/7/5 pattern?

Well if you mumble,
And skip a couple of words..
Then I guess it works.

My halfling haiku,
though possibly incorrect,
is still damn funny.

Seriously, I think I just miscounted while posting, but I have heard of 5/8/5 haiku. definately not as common, and probably inicorrect, but there is a precedent.
