[Dixielandjazz] Not quite Haiku

I think Bob Romans was merely passing along some Haiku which had been 
composed by others.

Steve, however, challenged Bob to compose a verse dedicated to a particular 
theme (the starving dixieland musician).

I'll offer a few adventures into the genre if you'll permit me:

I come here to play.
The gig don't pay very much -
Wish I could buy lunch!

I'd lke a big meal.
Perhaps if I blew my horn . . .
Not very likely!

Dixieland music
Doesn't get me the big bucks.
Maybe I'll try rap.

I'd like a big meal . . .
You can take your big meal and
Shove it up your (beep)

Note to Steve Barbone . . .
Want a Japanese poem?
Write your own Haiku!

How do I get hooked
On writing stupid verses?
Need to get a life!
