Tahmed,

You are rapidly becoming one of my favorite Chowkies...here`s another one inspired by the dyspeptic duo;

The toad! It looks like

it could belch

a cloud

Ahhh Afaqui Sahib,

Running out of haikus forced you to slip back into the mud? Pity you couldn`t think of anything more creative and that your sexual fixations continue to plague you. Oh wait a minute; perhaps you didn`t post any real haikus (and not that unfortunate mess you peck and post), because you don`t actually KNOW any haikus? Wouldn`t be the first time you held forth about something you didn`t know jack about...too bad; I thought the Japanese and Chinese were our anti-whiteman brothers...well almost; see the Koreans consider the Japanese occupation as a brutal occupation. And the Chinese concur, even though the Chinese have no shining track record when it comes to the intelligentsia and ethnic minorities (that would ``muslim`` to you, A. Sahib)...but this is all irrelevant, right? Eveeeeryhting is the White Man`s Fault...sheeesh...even teenage gangsta rappers in NYC are too sophisticated to try to pass that old trope off...btw, how is it that you are so knowledgeable about syphillis?

Singing, flying, singing

the cuckoo

keeps busy.

-Basho

Ref DeliciousKarachi #: 59

[12-Headed Monster Studebaker aka Aamir,

Why do we Pakistani women have to listen to an Indian who seems like a traitor to his own country teaching us how we should behave?]

The hydra seems to have a severe case of personality disorder. He can`t abide the fact that as a minority Muslim in predominantly Hindu India, he actually got the opportunity to get an MBBS and make tons of money. This is in conflict with his belief that Hindus are out to kill Muslims. The cognitive dissonance causes him to deny that he got any justice in India. His situation is worse in that Pakistan won`t let him in. He is permanently located in a mental limbo with no chance of escape.

I would recommend a psychiatrist for him but the one resident in Chowk is a loony.

One more Punjabi Haiku

(without any notes)

Desi kutti

vilaayati cheekaan

Salotree ainveen aakrray

[This haiku is very subtle & has layers of meanings within meanings.It is intended to arouse some deep-seated recessed traumas in some hearts & minds.A wide grin accompanied by a jerky scratching of the affected areas brings about a bliss which weans one out of inglisyphilis.If this does not cure it,then higher more potent dosage is also in store]

aicha,

Sweety, Agent Pinkytoes is being worked on as we type, thanks for asking...Zafar`s got something in the pot and its long on humor...got any more haikus?

Heres one I like:

My arm for a pillow,

I really like myself

under the hazy moon.

(Buson)

Sadna

Thanks! Let me extend my admiration for your ``definitive`` sentence on another board...but then, it is quite expected. Btw, how are the studies going?

PS: You are definately on the wrong side of the border. What do you mean `Hindus are generous`?? What is there for anyone to be generous or ungenerous in give-and-take among EQUALS?

You got that backwards. The Bharat Ratna is given to only people like Bismillah Khan but it was given to people like Indira Gandhi also.

These were good :)

Oh owl!
Make some other face.
