Spiral Fun-ku Outtakes
The entire Spiral Community had fun tossing non-competition haiku, including staff and judges...
Gremlins beneath feet
Sounds of industry echo
What do they prepare?
Spy intel arrives
Radio transmits static
What beast makes that noise?
A name, "Roarmulus"
The decipher team instructs
"Needs more test subjects"
More chatter is heard
Are those shouts of volunteers?!
Knights shudder in wait
Copy-paste all day
The keys V and C wear down
All day erry day yeah!
Bumbity bump bump
A thread you should recognize
Maybe this will work
I don't know if The
Good General Patton Approves
Of Gremlins in Haven
But All I Know Is
The fastest route to The Core
Is Through The Factory
"Onwards, Knights!" Patton
would say. "The quickest way home
is through Ironworks!"
Hearing those words, I grab
my Faust and Vog Cub Suit, and
entered Ironworks
Alas, my love, it was
Not to be! A Mender came and
Shot off my poor knee!
As I lay dying, with
my last breath, I silently cursed
General Patton.
Those Gruesome Gremlins!
Their aim: Roast Snipe for Mealtimes!
Boswick, go get them!
Sell me some ammo
Please new merchant, sell me some!
I need it so bad
Wait, what’s what? Oh no!
Your face is no Stranger, no!
Gremlins all around!
Why - how - are they here
Are we dead? Not yet, not yet
Tenderfoot friendly
What is this surprise?
Gremlin good, Gremlin bad, or
Gremlin spy backstab?
Ironclaw or Darkfang?
A Thwack-mend-scorcher gangbang?
Die with demo bang!
Gremlin scorcher love
Summer heat wave danger rooms
Singed knight jumps in pond
Flogging continues
Whip, whip, work, work all day long
The slaves need a break
Slave labor Dogrock
Mumbles copy paste haiku
Need more Mountain Dew
No knights will be harmed
In the production of this...
Film at eleven
