Since I’m delinquent on my Pittsburgh half marathon haiku (only because it was a fantastic weekend with Jogging Jeans and Stride and Joy and there’s so much to cover), I asked Linda Bang for a Monday haiku. She submitted one that seems fitting for the week ahead and falls naturally under our mutual obsession with healthy bowel movements. This bird needs to lay off the ex-lax.
P.S. Is ‘dookie’ a word?
Massive bird dookie
Symbolic view from the train
Monday mornings blow
This is in response to Linda’s haiku Got The Four Mile Farts
Gas is not so bad
Lucky not seven mile shits
Creates awkward stride

Big goal for this year
It scares the crap out of me
Run a marathon
Have a strange habit
Run while counting syllables
I look like a fool
Make government work
Strategy is in my blood
I can’t help myself

Rain reminds me of coffee
Then I need the sun

Tough to pick and choose
Love outdoor activity
Nap on a hammock

I am so excited about this post submitted by Jill at JoggingJeans.com – a site you MUST check out for running comedy. I don’t know anyone who hasn’t laughed out loud while reading this masterpiece. I think she should take over my site.
Started out queasy
Seemed to get worse with each step
Didn’t $hit myself
Another muscle
Sometimes strengthened by running
The anal sphincter
Jill at JoggingJeans.com after her stressful run . So happy for her that she didn’t have to submit a messy pants photo.
I have a friend who has been comfortable, and more open than most, talking about all kinds of necessary body functions. In fact, sometimes I think it’s an obsession. When I started running, I realized it is also something one has to legitimately think about and work around. So, today is dedicated to our favorite – poo. We each wrote one so continue scrolling past pictures to get to the second haiku.
Regularity
Do not run in discomfort
Empty your bowels
The following haiku by Linda Bang
Well, what can I say?
Regularity is key
I love a good poop
