FIFA Soccer Haiku Fridays

Posted on Friday, September 30 @ 18:59:07 Eastern by Josh_Laddin

GOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!

... That's pretty much the only soccer term I know. But is there any sentiment more appropriate when we give away free games out of what kindness is left in our jaded, cynical hearts? I don't think so.

This week you'll be pitting your haiku'ing skills in the battle royale known as Haiku Fridays for a PS3 copy of FIFA Soccer 12, which scored well with us in our recent review.

I happened to be in Italy in the summer of '06 when they won the World Cup, and was subsequently in awe of about the biggest party I've ever seen. But outside of that one magical month when everyone was a fan, I really know nothing about soccer, which makes it tough to come up with a relatable theme...

So fuck it, we're doing Nyan Cat this week!

HAIKU GO!

If I want to score,
I will practice kicking balls,
Whoa that came out wrong!

A kick in the chest
Those noisy vuvuzela
Please stop the buzzing!

GRass is like a pool
'Cause in both you use the legs
And dive a lot too.

Nyan Cat is so cute!
Pop-Tart body flies in space…
crapping a rainbow!

A haiku quartet about my favorite person:

Silly little kitty
Chasing flies, in the morning…
Running to and fro.

Sleepy little cat
Yawning, lazes in the sun.
Takes her midday nap.

Curious kitty
Sitting on the window sill…
Watches the sunset.

Sweet little kitty
Curls up with me, purrs good night…
It’s been a busy day.

Wondering how he does it?

Haikus are easy,
but sometimes they don't make sense.
Refrigerator.

Ah sh*t! I see Haiku Master LawnGnome is in the building. We're all f*cked.
On a side note, I don't think he'll win this time. Devaldogz's pretty good but with no mention of the Nyan Cat.

I left out Nyan cat,
for I thought this was soccer,
Nyan is a *****.

(Please tell me I'm pronouncing Nyan right, as one Sybille, otherwise my poem was written wrong)

I live under a rock and don't get out much, and even I've heard of Nyan cat.

After watching that I can only think of this:

What the f*ck was that
A freaking cat high on shrooms
I feel so ass-raped!

I am sorry, but
I reserve my time for less
Pointless videos.
