Haiku Rumble Lyrics

People gathered round for a haiku rumble

All the posers are gonna tumble

You better be ready, you better be humble

Yeah, you better be sharp, it's a haiku rumble

Better be sharp, it's a haiku rumble

Contestant Number One took a round

Autumn in SoCal

Warm green leaves; haiku engaged

We play with fire

Poets called next at the haiku rumble

Some held back their minds a-jumble

You better be ready, you better be humble

Better be humble

Yeah, you better be sharp, it's a haiku rumble

Better be sharp, it's a haiku rumble

Contestant Number Two was a clown

Wind chases ocean

Water pushes back like a

Eucalyptus squirrel

What

People gathered round for a haiku rumble

People gathered round

No inversions, no bees that bumble

All the posers—tumble

You better be ready, you better be humble

Better be ready

Yeah, you better be sharp, it's a haiku rumble

Better be sharp, it's a haiku rumble

Contestant Number Three threw it down

Metaphors at dawn

Allegories at High Noon

Crows in twilight dew

Yeaaah, that's how she won that haiku rumble

That's how she won a haiku rumble

Seventeen syllables, best not mumble

Seventeen syllables woo hoo

Ah, you better be witty, you better not stumble

You better be witty, you better not stumble

If you find yourself at a haiku rumble

If you find yourself at a haiku rumble

If you find yourself at a haiku rumble

If you find yourself at a haiku rumble

If you find yourself at a haiku rumble

If you find yourself at a haiku rumble
