A haiku lesson for Shadow et al

Three steps at a time
Down the stairs I am hasting
Will it be too late ?

Okay, seeing as I've been giving latitude to read into this what I may.

You have been waiting all evening for a delivery of Chinese food. At 3 am you gave up and went upstairs to bed.
Hark! The doorbell!

You come rushing downstairs .. nude .. and fling open the door .. scare the bejesus out of the delivery guy who drops the food and runs .. convinced you are some mad nude demon sent from above. (he saw you come flying down the stairs through the opaque glass of the window in the door).
At your feet are a collection of cartons and aluminum dishes ..
You ponder if it's too late to feast.

Your imagination tells a lot about yourself.
If you are a woman, I have no problem with that ; if you are a man, I don't like it. Bugger off.

The Four on the Florists

Deep in the heart of the Algonquin Forests,
There were arboralists called the "Four on the Florists."
So they're out portaging, looking for botanical species,
When one of them slips in some slippery faecies.
So he gets on his feet and picks up his canoe,
But what he don't know, it the super-charged poo!
Just as they find this exotic rare flower,
The poop shoots out lightning with electrified power!
That bolt of lightning welds the canoe to his head,
Now he's such a freak that he'd be better off dead!

It doesn't quite scan I know (I had to translate it from bad ebonics as I originally wrote it).

Interesting poem, ZardoZ, if slightly incomprehensible to me (or is it "slightly comprehensible" ?).
What is or are ebonics ?

How many men do you know go by the name of Penelope? My imagination should tell you I am a writer.

Telling a man to bugger off is rude.

I am out of my league here in terms of writing ability.....you guys amaze me! I am actually "squirming" to do another story, plus, people are slowely starting to consider me as a legitimate journalist. At any rate , I felt left out and had to say something. Keep those creative juices flowing!

Maurice? Do me a favour and tell Shadow I am not an alter ego of yours. I am completely miffed by his allegations. Who would have known that a validation would be required after such a short time in this forum of freedom.

Penelope who's free to be me!

Actually I think he likes you. He is a tempermental person, very idealsitic.....what the hell.....

My Shadow - Penelope is not me! Her writing ability should tell the truth immeadiately..... Everyone, be happy! I was getting to like this, and this is much better than the armageddon I had planned for this evening with my American friends.

I don't think 'he' likes me at all. He rebuffed my generously offered 'smooch'. harumph.

I assume My Shadow is a "he", but there is the chance it could be a "she". However, I am pretty sure he is a he and that he likes you..... He came back to this board a lot.....not for me.....
