Hay Hay!

2 POETRY PROFESSORS ARE TALKING

PROFESSOR1
Well it was inevitable this was going to happen. I mean when we were choosing between a dirty bugger like Walcott and a dirty slanderer like Paddle we knew we'd end up with 2 even worse poets fighting for the chair.

PROFESSOR2
Yes but I didn't even know Robert Mugabe was a poet.

PROFESSOR1
He must be he got 137% of the vote, though there was no need for him to have Andrew Morton beaten to death.

PROFESSOR2
And his Haiku's are awful,

White farmer off my
Land your racist bastard or I'll shoot
Your dog and kill you

I'm sure the syllable count is wrong and he doesn't mention the seasons.

PROFESSOR2
Still the other contender is even worse.

NETANYAHU WALKS ON OPENS A BOOK OF POETRY AND READS.

NETANYAHU
Oh Poetry proffs time to get off.
This festival of Haye
Is Israeli today.
God promised it that way.

NETANYAHU FIRES A GUN INTO THE AIR THE PROFESSORS RUN OFF.

PROFESSOR1
I'm bloody certain the Haye festival wasn't promised to the People of Israel by God!

lol

Regarding "I'm bloody certain the Haye festival wasn't promised to the People of Israel by God" doesn't it say in the bible that God said "and you shall seek the promised land... oh, and Hayes festival" ????
Or am I reading from a different good book?

I was really enjoying it
up to here:

I'm sure the syllable count is wrong and he doesn't mention the seasons.

After that I got a bit lost, Is Haye the new poet Laureate ?
Even so, I liked it but I thought it started better than it finished.

No it's just that Haye is where all these poetry types hang out, thanks I shall endeavour to make the edit clearer

Just spelling Hay properly would probably help.

Tis Hay. Yes.

I loved the Haiku joke btw and it was nicely followed up by the other professor re: not right syllables and no mention of seasons.
