TheExpat Jun 2014
Yesterday I played football
Nine young men and one old fool
I gave it my best, my all
Good job there's no offside rule.

My task just the goal to guard
For the ball I duck and dive
This Astroturf is quite hard
Till full time let me survive

Forget the goal, guard my beer
Sipping between shots on goal
Finally the kids appear
This short game, it took its toll
I'm 50+ they are 30'ish Thank goodness the kids took over :-)

Un haiku as scriu                  
Dacă eu as stapani
Limba Romana
Just a silly one in Romanian for a laugh. It says I would write a haiku if I knew Romanian well enough :-)

At home all alone
No one I can phone
Bread is now toasted
I'll just eat instead

Bread in place of love
If push comes to shove
Beers will be my pals
If there are no gals
written under the influence

A lie cuts both sides
A lie never hides  
To your naked heart
Guile a flying dart
                
A lie once employed
Leaves a gaping void
Poison soon will win
The vacuum within

So, we need to talk
There are two ways this can go
Will she stay or walk?
A haiku? you tell me?

Maybe is a better word
Than many that I have heard
No never and not at all
some that I can recall

Maybe, leaves some room for hope
No need to reach for the rope
No how, no way and not ever
words that are not so clever

Easily the best remedy
Ailments and sorrow washed away
Restored inner vitality
Liquid aromatherapy

Golden tea bergamont infuse
Relax, enjoy, repeat at will
Englishmen at 5 won't refuse
You can be sure I will not spill
