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....

TheCunningStunt · 03/08/2012 12:05

Can I just point out that I don't think our Olympians are actual boobs! Just that they are fab and deserve our support! Grin

Welcome all to London
Sorry about the weather
Please walk more quickly

OhYouGreatGreatBritain · 03/08/2012 18:36

I like yellowraincoats very much.

yellowraincoat · 03/08/2012 18:42

Wiggo is so thin
Jess Ennis so muscular
Gender bullshit dies

Wiggins's Sideburns
jiggle in the velodrome winds
Pendleton Howls curses at the moon

ThePsychicSatsuma · 03/08/2012 19:53

admiring the genetics
of the Danish rowing team
what powerful sperm they'd have
the next Viking invasion

ThePsychicSatsuma · 03/08/2012 19:55

The Americans fight hard for gold
The Russians weep silver tears
We keep a stiff upper lip for the bronze

MISTER BEAN 'NUFF SAID
WHO'D HAVE THOUGHT WE'D EVER SEE
PARACHUTING QUEEN!

OLimpPickMeddles · 04/08/2012 00:09

Rowers win the golds
Vicky whooped the world
Brits regain a sense of pride

OLimpPickMeddles · 04/08/2012 00:11

Claire Balding is superb
Thorpedo a revelation
Cav not cut out for talking

TheCunningStunt · 04/08/2012 08:05

Please Mind The Gap, ta
But we are catching up in
The medals table

Women's volleyball
Golden limbs, bikini'd breasts
Political porn.

ThePsychicSatsuma · 04/08/2012 20:05

Row row row your boat
gently down the stream
beat the Aussies, race the Danes;
achieve the golden dream

dinkystinky · 04/08/2012 21:31

Jess
yes!
You star...

ApplesinmyPocket · 04/08/2012 22:27

Bronze limbs flash; oars whip
silver from the ancient Thames
Gold flames long-range dreams

Emandlu · 04/08/2012 22:37

Lets look to our new
Olympic role models now
Not celebrities

Scatterplot · 05/08/2012 05:32

Super Saturday
Ennis, Rutherford, Farah:
Three golds in one night!

TheCunningStunt · 05/08/2012 08:51

Six golds in one day
The athletes blew me away
They made history

MirandaGoshawk · 05/08/2012 13:11

haiku schmaiku

There was a young lady named Jess
She gave us her personal best
She can leap throw and run
Her tum's like a drum
But I'm guessing her house is a mess!

(No disrepect intended towards Ms E. Just that her mind may have been on things other than housework recently. Aargh I wouldn't say that about a man would I? Sorry.)

The last line is so awful - Please think of a better one!

iklboo · 05/08/2012 16:38

Now Mo can go and Greg can jump
And Andy can hit a ball
Gymnasts get medals, cyclists turn pedals
But Jess is the best of them all

NicholasTeakozy · 05/08/2012 21:04

Murray and Robson
Silver medals in the sun
Pleased me mightily.

NicholasTeakozy · 05/08/2012 21:07

Ennis is a god
In summer rain she excels
Gold is her colour

NicholasTeakozy · 05/08/2012 21:19

When Ainslie attacks
Mate don't piss the main man off
In windy Weymouth
