“Anything too stupid to be spoken is sung.”–Voltaire

If Voltaire were alive today, he would have said “anything too stupid to be spoken is Googled.”
And with that missive, folks, it’s time for another thrilling rendition of Search Term Haiku. To recap, this feature was inspired by blogger Elkement when she created search term poetry on her blog, Theory and Practice of Trying to Combine Just Anything. She suggested I try my hand at it, and I did her one better. I created search term Haiku, which must abide by the following rules:
.
- Every phrase must come from search terms actually used to find this blog, per my WordPress stats page.
- The poems must follow the accepted Anglicized format of the traditional Japanese art form: three lines of 5, 7 and 5 syllables respectively.
- Each line must constitute an actual individual search term phrase, verbatim. The only changes allowed are punctuation and truncation. (Phrases may be taken from within search terms).
- Words may not be changed or rearranged. Typos and misspellings must not be corrected.
The poems below have all been created using search terms that have appeared on my WordPress stats page since the last Search Term Haiku post in January of this year. It should be noted: adding stories to this blog about my life as the husband of a veterinarian has opened up a whole new world of gross search terms. I did not make these up, I swear it. Enjoy.
YUCK

Ridiculous and sublime – as usual!! These search terms are amazing – I like the questions in particular. My search terms have settled down to the same, rather dull, repetitions of phrases containing ‘magic gyroscopes’, ‘falling slinkys’ and the like (By commenting like this I hand them over to you). But my searchers don’t ask for anything any more – like ‘What does poop look like?’
It seems I need to blog more about animals 😉 Or real life stuff in general.
The eclectic nature of my posts adds to the insane variety of my search terms. 😀
This reply is nearly an haiku in its own right:
The eclectic nature (6)
of my posts adds to the insane (8)
variety of my search terms. (8 or 7 depending if variety is 3 or 4 syllables)
OK, nearly … you need to reduce your number or syllables!
… should be “a haiku” of course, not “an haiku”. You don’t pronounce it French style ‘aiku, do you? 😉
No we do not.
Reblogged this on digger666.
Wow. You really are geekier than I am. That’s not easy. 😛
I try my best and rise to the challenge! 😉
Well done.
Search term haiku – cool! Now you’ve got me going as well – here’s the best I could come up with at short notice (but I’ll keep trying):
left handed redhead
achieving something in life
untangling puzzles
Not bad. Did you blog about a left handed redhead, or are you one?
I’ve blogged about left handers and red heads. 🙂
Canine Crazy is awesome! Now, I want to try my hand…
Hey, if there can be graffiti art, why not spam and search term poetry. (Elke does spam poetry as well as search term poetry)
If I knew how to write a Haiku I would play along…wait a minute, I’ll just google it!
😀
So. My blog will never have such inspiring search terms, I’m sure. I’m going to have to do some actual *work* to come up with some good ones. I don’t know if you guys heard about this, but NASA is soliciting Haiku poems to go to Mars. It’s been all over the space-geek’s news:

I see this as my only chance to get off this planet…
Any number of my friends and family would assert that I have already been off this planet, or rather, that I am from another one! 😀
