Poetry by Hubert

Before anyone calls me a copy cat, may I note that I am the one who suggested this kind of thread to Vincent, and that I had plans to do this long before he ever did? Just saying...

Please note that this poem isn't really supposed to be read as a Muppet character's voice:

Porkpie Hat

I can play the piano
Wear a mustache
Be a telephone Pole
Or slip on the ice patch
But telling a joke
I could never do that
Without my beloved
Porkpie hat

I can borrow a car
Use a dummy
Play a squire
With a finger man chummy
But knocking them down
I could never do that
Without my fantastic
Porkpie hat

I can hide from Berle
Play Little John
Sing a showtune
Or be a lion
But being funny
I could never do that
Without my trademark
Porkpie hat

I loooooooove Fozzie. And when I think about it, he's hardly ever seen without his hat!
Good job.

Thanks Jaz. Glad ya liked it. I'm putting the finishing touches on a poem about another clothing item of a Muppet...it should be ready soon.

This actually isn't all that great...but since I wrote it, I guess I'll put it up here anyway:

Universal

Sitting on a log, strumming a song
Watching a reflection dance

Reflecting on the signs, in the midst of a cave
Dancing to an utmost song

That sounded soooooo deep...

Doesn't rhyme, but who cares! I love the second poem!

Poems don't have to rhyme. I do believe this was a Haiku.

Poems don't have to rhyme...in fact, non-rhyming poems are actually my personal preference.

That was not a Haiku. A haiku is a three line Japanese poem that's first line has 5 syllables, second line 7 syllables, and third line 5 syllables.

Oh yeah.
