A haiku type verse but with the emphasis on human absurdity. The bald man
Hunts high and low
For his comb|
Written by Katanga (1554 comments posted) 16th April 2008 | Like it! How about this reply, but clumsier and less absurd?
The dead man
Has no need to hunt
For his tomb
Just a silly thought! |

Written by mia_ms_kim (1057 comments posted) 16th April 2008 | Senryu? I had to look it up. I love it. We should have more of these. Is this the saying of Confucius? Whatever. It's such wisdom. (But I noticed that men are very sensitive about their hair, even those who are least conscious of their appearance.)

Written by Katanga (1554 comments posted) 16th April 2008 | Great stuff Mia - yes, I suppose men, eg like me are a bit over-sensitive, so I've grown a beard instead - at least there's not much competition from the ladies! Ha! Just for a last laugh before bedtime:
I have no hair
But I don't care
Cos that's how I was born
And when I'm dead
Laid out in bed
They'll shave me - I'll be shorn!
Ho! Ho! Keep up the banter . . . X

Written by mia_ms_kim (1057 comments posted) 16th April 2008 | Katanga's comments reminded me that human beings are obsessed with hair - from those who have an abundance, to those who have none, to those somewhere inbetween. I mean this is a multi-billion dollar industry - from shampoos to oils to perms to hair transplants to hairdyes to wigs etc. Then there is the body hair - waxing, plucking, electrolysis, tinting etc... This is insanity.
Mia  - sorry, Ned, for going off on a tangent. |
