Now this one is far sillier. Enjoy. *bg*

A Christmas Haiku Dialogue

Doyle
Bodie, mate, come here.
I’m under the mistletoe,
Waiting for a kiss.

Bodie
Ray, you silly arse,
We’re at a CI5 do —
Everyone would see!

Doyle
I don’t want to hide
The way I feel about you,
I’m sick of lying.

Bodie
It isn’t lying,
Sensibly evading truth
Is merely good sense.

Doyle
Well, if you insist,
I do have some mistletoe
Hanging in my car.

Bodie
As long as you know
What else is going to happen
As soon as we’re there.

Doyle
For Christ’s sake, Bodie,
I should bloody well hope so!
Now let’s get going.

Cowley
Now listen here, lad,
I won’t have that language used
In my hearing at Christmas.

Doyle
Oops — I’m sorry, sir.
We were just talking about
Calling it a night.

Cowley
Young men nowadays!
When I was young, we partied
Long into the night!

Bodie
Ah, but you see, sir,
We’ve just come off a hard case,
And we need a rest.

Cowley
Oh, very well, then.
Merry Christmas, both of you,
And Happy New Year.

Bodie
Thank God, he’s going.
Come on, where’s this mistletoe
You just promised me?

Doyle
I told you — my car.
The heating’s working, and the
Blanket’s in the boot.

Short, funny and to the point!
So much in this cracker, today!!

[maddalia.livejournal.com]

Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed these - and the rest of the cracker! :D

[moth2fic.livejournal.com]

That was great - little does Cowley know just how long the lads will continue to party!

I've downloaded the story, too, but won't have time to read it today.

[maddalia.livejournal.com]

Hee, thank you! And I do hope you enjoy the story when you get to it. Thanks for letting me know you'll read! :)

[lillianorchid.livejournal.com]

That was brilliant!! :D I don't think I've ever read a Pros-y Haiku before! :)

[maddalia.livejournal.com]

I'm not sure I have either! I saw a good non-Pros-y one the other day:

Haikus are easy,
But sometimes they don't make sense.
Refrigerator.

:D Thanks for commenting!

[lillianorchid.livejournal.com]

I really feel I ought to be able to respond in haiku format, but alas, no! Like numbers 6 and 7 particularly. I dunno why :)

[maddalia.livejournal.com]

Thank you ...

I thought you'd like them!
I wrote them and thought of you.
Funny, isn't it?

(OK, I admit I'm just showing off now.)

What fun. Good work here. You made me smile. Thanks!

[maddalia.livejournal.com]

Yay, thank you! Good to know I made you smile.
