Orient Haikus

[o-no]

I was watching James May in Japan, and he's been banging on about these Japanese 3-line poems that have to have 5 syllables in line 1, 7 in line 2 and 5 again in line 3. I thought I'd have a bash at some Orient ones:

Boss Ross Embleton
Plays one attacker at home
Why does he do that

Leyton Orient
Finest team in the East End
But seldom win cups

[slacker]

My favourite haikus from the King of Cultural Self-Awareness:

[slacker]

Bye then, JAlabi. Like a dog with a balloon. Yet you made us smile.

[o-no]

"Alabi", we sang
But you could not play football
Nor could the others

[Wally Banter]

Naaaoooooh get it forward!
Stop f*cking about with it!
Wake up Orient!

[Long slender neck]

Martin Ling hates us
Because he is a lizard
And so is Meghan

[Thor]

Martin Ling hates us
Because he is a lizard
And so is Meghan

Now that’s some conspiracy right there, are you mates with David Icke by any chance?

[Real Al]

Winter boots and scarves,
Green parakeets and defeat.
Supporting the O's

[y o y o y]

Meet Nigel Travis
An evening with top man
Tonight at seven

[y o y o y]

Club coffers only
No Tim's rolls available
Doughnuts are on sale

[tuffers#1]

Off to Brisbane Road
Off to see the Mighty Os
3 points please

[Disoriented]

Martin Ling prays
For clueless Swindon rejects
To come on the scene.

[Disoriented]

Some aliases
Cause confusion leading to
Lucky trolls himself

[Thor]

Some aliases
Cause confusion leading to
Lucky trolls himself

You know that dis, you know that.
