~~~ NOTE FROM CHRIS: ~~~
Here at TopFive, we're celebrating Thanksgiving
with that most traditional of American treats --
HAIKU!
We've written 30 Thanksgiving haikus,
much like the haikus originally brought
over by the Pilgrims themselves.
The Top 30 Thanksgiving Haikus
- "You've never loved me!"
"Why the hell did I come home?"
"Please pass the gravy."
- See my family:
They're all such friggin' morons.
Turkey softens pain.
- Christmas music plays,
Yet I haven't finished my
Halloween candy.
- Of all the things I'm
thankful for, the least must be
Turkey leftovers.
- A strange hand enters
My tender lil' turkey ass.
Cut that out, pervert!
- White man invades us,
Steals our land and livelihood!
Enjoy pie, asswipes.
- The zen of Popeye
Echoes as I fill my plate:
I am what I yam.
- Cowboys score again!
I leap for joy, plate o'erthrown.
Fido feasts again.
- Let us give our thanks
To those who prepared this feast.
Bless you, KFC.
- Mom shopped way too late,
Shelves were picked clean of turkeys.
Enjoy your fried Spam.
- Stomach exploding,
I can't eat another bite.
What? Pie? Bring it on!
- This bird has five legs!
Thanks, genetic engineer.
Drumsticks all around!
- There's a duck inside
That chicken and that turkey?
You're such a pig, dude!
- Full, succulent breast.
Thighs so firm I salivate.
*That's* Cousin Sue? D'OH!
- That olive seems strange.
It looks like... AH! A glass eye!
Not funny, Grandma!
- Turkey! Stuffing! Pie!
Wolf down, then sprint to the john...
Feast with Mary-Kate.
- Pungent aromas
Wafting from Grandpa's buttocks.
May I be excused?
- Pie sirens singing,
Beckoning from the table,
Taunting me loudly.
- So full I could burst.
Keep that mint away, despite
Its wafer thinness.
- Pumpkin pies untopped,
Whipped cream dribbles from the can.
Who took nitrous hits?
- Finger lickin' good!
Junior says the stuffing feels
Like warm apple pie.
- Sometimes we're thankful
For the things we do *not* have.
Like, you know, Trump's hair.
- The Pilgrims landed
In Massachusetts. And froze.
Next time, try Key West.
- Carve the turkey... yum!
White meat, dark meat, red meat-- huh?
Crap, I've sliced my thumb.
- If you're just too full,
Go ahead, undo your belt --
BUT THE PANTS STAY ON.
- Most Americans --
Two thirds -- are obese. Stuffing:
Side dish *and* hobby.
- The carcass lies still,
Stuffed and silent. It is Dad
Watching football games.
- The diagnosis:
Tryptophan-induced coma
Gravy IV, stat!
- Forty-four years old,
Still at the kiddie table.
Pass the damn peas, punk.
and the Number 1 Thanksgiving Haiku...
- Butterball Hot Line?
This is an emergency!
My penis is stuck!
