Fauxku Choo Choo (the play's the thing)

[billy]

just to get the train back on tack

Rules

Your TINY poem should:

1. use 2 or more significant words from the previous poem.

2. echo some aspect of the previous poem (optional).

3. contain 1 to 4 lines, or be a limerick.

4. be a fauxku (fake haiku), a senryu, a real haiku (not that
anyone really knows what one is), or a whatever-you-please
(e.g. metaphorically dense rhyming Nyāya Sūtra).

Ancillary Rules:

5. If miscalculation, confusion, lapse in judgment, good intentions, ill temper,
addled thinking, or self-deception lead to snarl; don't try to communicate,
don't try to resolve: Just write something (e.g. lists of various vegetables
or something about dog diapers) and keep moving.

6. Use the "New Reply" button to pathetically attempt to impede the inevitable.

7. And YES! It's OK to play with yourself.

8. It's OK to add TINY extraneous (or not) notes.

please note: the first four poems were written before rules existed.
