Haiku / VeggieTales

No way will Po Tato stay on the mat and linger
When I give him a belly ringer

— Apollo Gourd, Sumo of the Opera^note I don't think that's actually a haiku. Not even close.

Oh, my aching back.
Might as well call Workmen's Comp.
It's thrown out again.

—Po Tato, Sumo of the Opera^note Now THAT'S a haiku. ^note Haiku. Three un-rhymed lines of 5, 7, and 5 syllables. Haiku.

In the year of the Scallion
How about a bout with the
Italian Scallion.

— Apollo Gourd, Sumo of the Opera^note Closer, the champ's only off by two syllables.

Sentient produce
tell stories from The Bible
and sing silly songs.

—Sizzly Bacon

So, Haman replaced
The gallows with tickling?
Bowdlerization.

—Justadoo 444

Children, as you know,
Really don't like vegetables.
God wants to change that.
