Lamentation Twenty Five

A Haiku in Passing

Two cars crash head-on

in the passing place. Too much

courtesy can kill.

Tess Kincaid's prompt this week invites disaster. (Mag 183 is here.)

Lamentation Twenty Four

A Snapped Elastic Haiku

You think I enjoy

standing like this?  If I don't

my knickers fall down.

The prompts from Willow Manor are unfailingly entertaining.  Mag 181 is no exception.

Lamentation Twenty Three

Haiku on Two Manuals 

Drawing Hands, 1948 by M. C. Escher 

For once the right hand

knows what the left hand's doing . . .

And it's off the cuff!

Thanks to Tess for this Mag 180 prompt, shown HERE.

Lamentation Twenty Two

Haiku On the Law of 
Unintended Consequences

Man with shotgun thinks
"Don't look gift car in the tyres!"
BANG!  Car falls on head.

Another satisfactory tale of mishap and woe suggested by the Magprompt HERE.

Lamentation Twenty One

Supermoon's . .

. .  at perigee, but

you've never been so remote!

No apologee?

She shot him one glance.

Holed beneath the waterline

He sank without trace.
