I'm sure it was the fine print you were most interested in, wasn't it? (smile)

I personally read this as his statement about the illiteracy problem in America. Deep stuff, David.

err, there must have been a really good haiku printed on her shirt, printed very small.

Oh, the dangers of curiosity.
Ah, the indignities of aging.
My, the regret of being caught.

Janet, I suppose we should be grateful he didn't somehow work a toilet seat into this poem.

*chuckle*

A, maybe we should have a toilet-tanka/haiku-head theme this week.

Janet, I believe that's exactly what David was trying to do here:

Tsk tsk. He's soooo immature sometimes.

Gosh, AA, I posted two serious harvest moon haiku yesterday, but you can't seem to keep your mind off of toilet seats and in gutters. I may have to report this to Prof. Chang.

Only you could look at a full moon and think, "Aha! Toilet seats!"

I knew it was a matter of time before you posted this full frontal nudity shot. There goes the reputation of Magnapoets....moment of silence

Are you accusing Mama G. of engaging in kiddie-porn? You are in trouble now, Ms. A. That innocent picture of her youngest child on his first birthday. I just might have to post my Aurora Chagrined haiga.

p.s. If it wasn't for that toilet seat and an unreasonable and romantically-chagrined woman, the poor bloke in the poem wouldn't have had to view the Harvest Moon alone from a dog house.

I thought the toilet seat picture was a tribute to Mars.

That is an adorable photograph. It's probably Arthur.

Janet, If you're looking for a theme we can work this weekend, I just remembered that September 29th is Goose Day. http://edhelper.com/DailyThemes_September_29.html

And, as Matt Morden taught me, Michaelmas Day. http://mordenhaikupoetry.blogspot.com/search?q=%22Michaelmas+Day%22

Eating a goose on September 29 is supposed to bring luck. Not too sure if it is safe to write any more goose-ku with You-Know-Who managing this website.

Terrific post, and I enjoyed all of the comments. I might be in the minority, but I actually really liked your toilet seat haiku! I thought it was great.

no, no, no goose ku! (though i must admit i liked the earlier ones.)

maybe the theme should be curmudgeons.

You're easy to please, Collin. I like that in a Commentor. Janet, it's tough writing haikai about such a loaded character type. Plus, I hate confessional senryu. Maybe Silly Old Goose will have to do as a compromise theme.

ahhh baby stew, my favorite.

Great photo, I bet you get all the ladies with this one.

the senryu is a riot
