MC Hammer show
Free with admission to fair
He still has some debt
Gravitron goes 'round
Tilt-a-whirl spins on axis
I'm too old for this
The prized strawberries
Are all wilted from the sun
Still gets blue ribbon
Second grader pix
In all their structured glory
Are up for display
Thoroughbred racing
Not like the harness racing
We usually have
Wiener dog races
Go little hot dog, go fast!
Awww, you got confused
Single fryer buns
It will make a good pet, right?
No, it's for frying
This quilt took 6 months
This rose garden took 8 months
Judging takes 2 secs
Kal ee forn ee ah
The sunshine state is the best
Just ignore budget
FFA Children
Are sleeping in their lawn chairs
Hoping pig stays clean
Egg rolls on a stick
Gotta love the fried foods here
Deep fry my veggies
That cow is pregnant
I can see the hooves stick out
It won't be long now
Stubborn goat won't move
PETA banned the hooks we use
Get a clue, PETA

Where are your efforts?
A few post many, some none...
No ticket for you!
or
Never have so few
Prosed so much, for so many

They call this a "bump"
When interest is lacking
I'm not a post hoar

I’ll try my hand at
These haikus, what a pleasant
Way to pass the time:
Sweating and eating;
And then drinking and puking.
I always leave sick
Ferris wheel goes round
Up high into the night sky
On top of the world
Cotton candy, corn dogs
Only in America
Food on sticks abound
Golden bears stand guard
Over fried treats, toothless car-
nies, barking vendors
I come for the treats,
cows, races, deals, I stay for
the people watching
ugh it’s too dam hot
buy myself a frozen treat
should have come later...
Dragg’d through the tool show
But then it’s my turn, weiner
Races here I come!
Aging rockstars serve
To remind us that as they
Go, so goes our youth

I do hate haiku
State Fair is hot and boring
But I like free stuff

Plus one - what he says.
Free stuff is always better.
But nothing is "free."

Whew! Relieved at ease
With which tickets can be won.
State fair, here we come?
This calls for Cotton
Candy treats all around! Try
To keep from puking.
Hope to see Hammer
STOP! Carny-Time. Maybe win
Cheap prizes for kids.
When does it open?
Hope schedule is clear, or all
Haiku gone to waste.

Some people can't count
The number of syllables
In their Haiku poems

The number of syllables
In their Haiku poems
How do you pronounce
Poems? It's a two syllable word
Right? Haiku Po-ems?
If so, then yours has
A touch of ironic flair
And humor to boot.
