I Like My Steak Rawr!

Don’t dine, O’Saure

at Cretaceous Pub.

The food will vex;

the sweet tea wrecks.

Notes:  This is a quick-n-cute one, because I am in a sleepy/punchy frame of mind.  The form (thanks, Sal Buttaci!) is Pun-ku. 

In other news, my poem, Missing the Point, was Walt's pick for Bloom of the Week at Poetic Bloomings (thanks Walt and Marie!) and my limerick, Bizarre Foods, got an Honorable Mention this week at Mad Kane's Humor Blog (thanks, Madeleine!)

It may be the lowest form of humor...but a pun is fun!

So, if you have           

addictionary

you’re hooked on terms.

Cause?  Word-list germs.

Chow Down

A cantina

cannot serve a meal

since the venue

has no menu.

A restaurant

like this only has

surly waiters.

Never caters.

Notes: The form is Pun-ku.  (Actually, the second poem is a double Pun-ku.  Salvatore Buttaci is a poet and writer who came up with this new humorous poetic form.  It is called the Pun-ku, and it's really fun.  Here's how you do it ...

(1)    Unlike the haiku that allows for a less than strict adherence to the 17-syllable rule, the pun-ku must be exactly 17 syllables long. 

(2)    It contains only four (4) lines arranged syllabically as follows:

Line 1: 4 syllables     Line 2:  5 syllables      Line 3:  4 syllables    Line 4:  4 syllables

(3)    As for the end-rhyme pattern, Lines 1 and 2 do not rhyme. Lines 3 and 4 do.

(4)    The pun-ku must contain a pun on one or more of the words used in the poem.  The subject matter deals with human nature, is light, humorous, or witty.

(5)   The title of the pun-ku can only be one- or two-words long (or short).
