Shut Up & Write

You love it. You loathe it.
Either way, you can't help yourself. You are one of us.
(You are also a masochist. But that's OK.)

Struggling (and more often fighting) writer by trade, and office monkey when I need to pay my bills. It's an enviable life.
I know, you're probably a little jealous now.
It's perfectly understandable.

Gatchaman Haiku!




OK, this is the first in a series of Gatchaman haiku -- as suggested by friend P. We agreed this would be hilarious. (Although in truth, someone might have beat us to it.)

These are the first batch, written by yours truly (yes, original haikus penned by me). I will add more, as well as posting offerings from fellow Gatchaman fans. (Gatchaman, for older North American folks, is the original Japanese cartoon version of Battle Of The Planets.)


GATCHAMAN HAIKU
by /hg



With deadly speed and
The power of the Phoenix,
But still Nambu's bitches.

They leap and fight, yet
They're mired in seventies' slang.
Science Ninja Team!

Ever impatient,
Joe yearns for deadly results.
Fly, bird missiles, fly!

Galactor pounces
Loosing evil on the world.
Damn it! Foiled again.

June and Ken, lovers
Who are chaste and reluctant.
Perhaps Ken wants Joe.

Small like a robin,
But despite his speed and skills
Jinpei is the suck.

When dealing with girls,
Ken's sensitivity rears
By slapping the bitch.

We wait, breath baited
For Galactor to notice
Their foes wear bird hats.

"Transmute" or "Bird, Go"?
One of these phrases will get
Ken back in his tights.

I don't even know Gatchaman and I think those are bloody fantastic!

So, why aren't you my MySpace friend yet?

Aw, shucks. Thanks.

"Aardog" has requested you as a friend. I've only started on this in the last week or so, so haven't been actively soliciting people I know. Yet.
