Look through the fence, you see that beast there? That tense lump of muscle and mange-ridden hair? That's old Scrapyard Spike, and this is his lair; Don't tread in his yard on adventure nor dare. Old Scrapyard Spike, he's been a-weathered for years; In his chain-link domain, rain-soaked despair. Unfed in the morning, watered only with tears; Unsheltered from squalls, corroded by glare. Now poor Scrapyard Spike wasn't always so old, When he was a puppy, they told him they loved him; But when he grew up, he had to make friends with the cold, For with the clink of a fence, he was thrown out on a whim So Spike spent his days alone with his chain; He sweltered at noon and slept wet with the rain; And all those who passed him discounted his pain: "He's just an old cur" was the daily refrain And then one cold day, a girl found her way in; Her flesh on her bones, blood coursing unspilled. Old Spike smelled her first, his chain went a-slitherin' And the lost child stood rooted, her every nerve chilled. The silence of metal, broken plastic and glass, The beast came a-running, his chain length a ploy; And jaws opened wide as he lunged for the lass; But when his head pressed her thigh, he whimpered with joy. Old Spike raised the call with a manticore's thunder; A summoning cast with his lungs' every strain. She petted him gently, whose care she was under, Though his poor heart convulsed as he looked back at his chain. The clangor succeeded, a blue-clad protector Saw the beast at her heel, and he drew as he lept; An ounce of hot metal found Scrapyard Spike's skull, And the last thing he heard was his friend as she wept.

Old Scrapyard Spike
Look through the fence, you see that beast there? That tense lump of muscle and mange-ridden hair? That's old Scrapyard Spike, and this is his lair; Don't tread in his yard on adventure nor dare. Old Scrapyard Spike, he's been a-weathered for years; In his chain-link domain, rain-soaked despair. Unfed in the morning, watered only with tears; Unsheltered from squalls, corroded by glare. Now poor Scrapyard Spike wasn't always so old, When he was a puppy, they told him they loved him; But when he grew up, he had to make friends with the cold, For with the clink of a fence, he was thrown out on a whim So Spike spent his days alone with his chain; He sweltered at noon and slept wet with the rain; And all those who passed him discounted his pain: "He's just an old cur" was the daily refrain And then one cold day, a girl found her way in; Her flesh on her bones, blood coursing unspilled.

Nice Try Senryu
Deployment confirmed, Flight Leader at ready Mission parameters locked in the pipe Target subsystem structures, hold the course steady The last thing I want is a wipe Miles of shrapnel, anti-drone hail My brave flight cut down by a half Magnetics engaged, we land on her tail Free at last from hot metal and chaff There can be no defense for this aft rail dispenser Plasma torches will have out her heart A soft spot at last on the tactical sensor One final call and this party can start "Flight Leader here, subsystem disabled" "Prophet tactical, fire at will" A surge of blue plasma, the deadly beam arc We andrones must die with our **** No graves will be dug for this 'drone flight destroyed Disabling that aft rail smoke-caster But our sacrifice bought what the Prophet predicted Elegiac ion disaster

Hokage of our Hearts
Place your finger on her chin     Now draw a line down her throat and extend the trajectory Why? Because then you get to touch her cleavage     I thought it was self-explanatory

Bountiful Bearings
Get her out of those buckles, make her wiggle Learned fingers tracing her every silky crease Manually adventuring amidst her supple folds Turning her over and over, send the air out of her! And then an arm across her skirt, fold her lovingly but firmly Now I can count on her to open next time I jump

Lurker Senryū
King of the Sun, O Son of the King Vessel of Glory poured out for our sins The great holy houses and mountaintops sing For what the Omega ends, the Alpha begins Faith of our hearts, O Heart of our faith Truest of shepherds Who leads us from straying Deliver Your children from evil's enticements And forgive us our sins; stay virtue from fraying Lord of All Time, O Eternal Lord Thy hall is a spire no darkness can capture Thank You for giving Your dear Son to us And Thy will, O God, may we accomplish in rapture

Vessel of Glory
A friend's riddle was most indiscreet And I finally admitted defeat How is a bee like a 'B'? They both sting Koreans, you see And with that he skipped off down the street
