Hello.

Having rofled our way through your Bradley-Wiggins-inspired poetry thread, we thought we'd start the Official Mumsnet Olympics Haiku Thread.

Please do come and post your best haikus about the Games, as and when inspiration strikes.

We may well have a prize or two for the best offerings....

It's near diving time
I like the sport, not speedos
Or budgie smugglers

Can HQ compete?
Submit for random testing
And disqualify!

Sun-drenched Royal Greenwich
Horses jump through the diamond
Then over the moon

We're told Beach Volley-
ball is all about the skill,
but really it's pants

The snatch. Clean and jerk.
Can't get it up! Weightlifting;
Sounds filthy don't it!

Viewing Mens swimming
Slip into the wet
Me drooling at mouth.

DH's attempt:

Summer rings' peace
Shines from television
World knows our trains go slow.

yellowflowers · 30/07/2012 22:32

Faster faster huff
Puff faster faster faster
Faster. Fuck - Fourth place

Seb Coe is quite fit

A Tory MP

Olympics, stop it's here now
5 rainbow rings, symbol of advertising kings
Scypmilo a mirror mans friend.

Tom Daley is fit
Though I feel like a pervert
I can't help but stare

LackaDAISYcal · 31/07/2012 00:41

Watching the diving
I now understand Ana's
obsession with hips

nailak · 31/07/2012 03:59

Hard work and efforts
Trials and tribulations
Soon jubilation?

Busy streets, people greet
athletes, hero's, daunting feats
Cheers and tears compete

Hoping we can be
Stronger, faster, higher
Grant our hearts desire,

The edge of our seats
Getting ready to compete
Determination

nailak · 31/07/2012 04:04

My bad extra syllable

Edit

Busy streets. We greet
Athletes, heroes, daunting feats,
Cheers and tears compete.

nailak · 31/07/2012 04:07

Oops and again, must be late,

Hoping we can be,
Stronger, faster, higher too,
Our hearts desire (how many syllables in desire? Should I have kept it as 2?)

nailak · 31/07/2012 04:15

What a waste of time
I should have had a lie in
Wait - that's what I did.

Money down the drain
McDonald's getting paid, while
Londoners shafted

Don't bring your picnic
Don't you know its a health risk,
Dehydrate and starve

Shoot -its twenty twelve
Time for the end of the world
Better start praying.

FasterHigherBeardierDaddyman · 31/07/2012 08:39

Gold silver and bronze
Everyone else is no-one
Says my harsh dd

bubby64 · 31/07/2012 15:31

Bronze and silver medals
Glimpse of the gold
It will come soon, we hope!

CharlotteBronzeySaurus · 31/07/2012 19:57

Rain falls, yet Louis
does not, firm on the pommel.
Firm too are his thighs.

Mr Bean plays piano
Dreams of golden Poms Bears

Rats.. hit post too quick
My Haiku is in tatters
Like Tom's hope of gold

bisjolympics · 31/07/2012 22:45

I should post this tomorrow morning but I am too knackered to stay up any longer after staying up until 2am this morning trying to get sodding tickets.

Wiggo today is
your day, so pedal fast please
and win our first gold
