Lions haiku

First topic message reminder :

And while we've got those creative juices flowing, how about trying your hand at a British & rish Lions haiku to pass the time:

Hogg was not a ten,
He attacks and he defends,
Fifteen is his best.

Knock yer socks off!

I obviously did not pay attention at school as I have absolutely no idea what you lot are going on about!  Limericks, yes, but this?!  What am I reading?!?!?!

Pinching myself to make sure I'm not dreaming, or on smack!

Griff, see Guns' excellent explanation above - 5-7-5, bit of seasonal slant if poss, plus an angle to finish if you can - seemples

To truly acquaint yourself with the haiku you must read an electronic appliance instruction manual in English but written by a Japanese person.

I have a problem with the audio on my CD player.

(Troubleshooting help) To banish audio demon from Glorious Samurai Master follow step:

Ignite seven samurai candles.

Plug to insert enchanted tool unit.

Banish audio demon to eternal suffering.

This will be of no use for writing a haiku but by comparison it will inevitably feel like the easiest thing on earth.

Brilliant, Kia

So you may be right
Except for a small detail
Ross Ford riding pine

Suffering heart of jaysus
Maitland waits his time to come
Both wrong yet both right

Spring on Sean Maitland
Unlock the Wallaby pouch
The kilted wee key
