A Haiku Challenge

Let the dead stay dead
Under sofa they will not
Find you dismembered

 

Find you dismembered
extramarital mistress
of that married man

 

Of that married man,
It can be said with sureness,
There goes a nice guy.

 

There goes a nice guy
doin' haiku thing again
Segue to somewhere

 

Segue to somewhere
like a mystery unveiled
Sunset west I sailed

 

Sunset west I sailed
Leave all cares and woes behind
Hope the rain holds off.

 

Hope the rain holds off
and let the sunshine reign on
in those wavy rays

 

In those wavy rays
Although they do appear straight
in fact, oscillate (in Planck lengths so non-observable)

 

In fact, oscillate,
Electron clouds on the move,
Make chemical bonds.

 

Make chemical bonds
to see where this thing does fit;
also its function

 

Also its function
Complemented by structure
It's biology.

 

It's biology
That was close but no cigar
It was alchemy

(The metaphorical "lead to gold".)

 

It was alchemy
Natural Philosophy
Glass beakers and flasks

 

Glass beakers and flasks
Burners, boiling, and bubbles
My experiment

 

My experiment
Will bring me riches and fame
Come drink this potion

 

Come drink this potion
and you will get the notion
but no commotion

 

But no commotion
Just do The Loco-Motion
American band

 

American band
We're an American band
Coming to your town

 

Coming to your town,
Super Duper Carnival
Rides and the Midway

 

Rides and the Midway
Win a top shelf toy monkey
Carny knows your weight

 

Carny knows your weight,
But underestimates age,
Makes you feel real good.

 

Makes you feel real good
just like you knew that it could
so of course it would

 

So of course it would,
These things have the way of fate,
What did you expect?

 

What did you expect?
Nothing but the best, of course
The story goes on

 

The story goes on,
Ascension and descension,
So the story goes.
