Mornington Crescent - Haiku Edition

Post by TheFatBuoy »

Here is my idea
Game of Mornington Crescent
But in Haiku form

The rules are simple
Standard MC rules in force
One special rule, though;

Each move consists of
No more than one Haiku verse
That is all, thank you

This rule shall thus be
Strictly enforced - break it, and;
You shall go in spoon.

Without more ado
I shall open the game with
The station Epping.

Chalk Farm invoking
Peterson's sixteenth
From whence we're in spoon
One thing only do I know, and that is that I know nothing - Socrates.

Look through older games,

You'll soon pick it up!

Neil, as an aside;
Would you count "idea" to have
Two or three syll'bles?

(People please note that
For the above Haiku verse,
I let it be two)

I would say it's three
I pronounce it as "ee-yuh"
That's the end of that

My initial thought
Agreed with your statement there
So therefore this means

That "The Raven" was
Two syllables over se'en
And not just the one.
