Subject: Postal Haiku

Okay, usually you guys rock my world (figuratively speaking, of course). But
you lame attempts at Going Postal haiku (http://attrition.org/postal/z/036/1048.html)

First of all, they weren't even haiku. Per Wiki:

The traditional haiku consisted of a pattern of 5, 7, 5 "on". The Japanese
word "on", meaning "sound", corresponds to a "mora", a phonetic unit similar
but not identical to the syllable of a language such as English.... Haiku
usually combine three different lines, with a distinct grammatical break,
called kireji, usually placed at the end of either the first five or second
seven morae.

Your first attempt (can't call it a poem, just can't) was four lines in an
8-5-6-5 pattern; the second was four lines (again) in a 3-5-5-3 pattern.
Admittedly, you didn't have much to work with, but you could have done
better.

I humbly submit the following as examples of TRUE Postal Haiku:

Please crack this address
joeblow at hotmail dot com
I do not trust him

I want to cancel
my trial account right now
no more AOL

You guys really suck
Take my email off right now
Pretty pretty please?

fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck
that is all lyger can say
fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck

this guy is funny
he should have an attrition
email address now

Okay, I'd even say that last one was lame....

 - Bob

Since you're the second chimp to whine about an obvious parody (or perhaps the same one? 
I didn't check...) let me explain.

Those "poems" were not meant to be correct or true, and you have missed the entire point 
that they were just made up of selected words from genuine postal emails.  The idea was 
to summarize the idiocy of the email in just a few lines, while also following the actual 
order of words as sent.

So with that in mind, let me just say:

Okay you rock
but lame haiku
attempt in pattern
could done better

To prevent further misunderstanding, I now declare that Going Postal Haiku is a style in 
its own right, and has nothing whatsoever to do with "haiku", except for the fact that words 
are used.  Kind of like "Burger King" has nothing to do with a "real" king.  Attrition.org 
reserves all rights to this new style, and we expect significant royalties from anyone who 
does anything remotely similar.  In fact, if you even -think- about Going Postal Haiku, you
owe us a dollar.

There...now you can remove the splinters from your sphincter and get on with your life.

Have a nice day.

a.l.

In reference to the fine attached email,
You point out that is was a parody.
As was my own, but this is growing stale;
It will suffice to say that I agree.

But our opinions quickly do diverge
When you imply that I owe you a buck.
I shall restrain my somewhat profane urge,
And simply say "My friend, you're out of luck."

But payment's called for on the balance sheet.
You shall be recompensed, please have no fear:
At Defcon next, should we perchance to meet,
I will most gladly purchase you a beer.

In closing, though you curse me as you might,
Attrition shall remain my favorite site.

Lyger's a lascivious fuck
with an asshole the size of a truck.
But I like the old queer,
So I'll buy him a beer,
But for skull sex, he's plumb out of luck.

One beer to loosen him,
One beer to bind him,
One beer to bend him o'er
As I lube myself behind him.

So that's three. See? I'm not a cheap fuck after all.
