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....

Men's Hundred Metres
Is the blue riband event
The Lightning #Bolt Won

Stretch and point your arm
Pull other arm across chest
That's the lightning bolt!

FasterHigherBeardierDaddyman · 05/08/2012 22:42

Hidden from our sight
The drugs tester awaits all
That man takes the piss

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

How about:

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
And she looks very nice in her vest!

Any better? Grin ok ok perhaps not...

"Great Britain takes gold!"
We've heard that much more often
than we expected.

Usain Bolt, cheetah
Run in less than 10 seconds
Short attention span

MirandaGoshawk · 06/08/2012 10:49

Apples - thanks for trying! (Have a Bronze for that!)

Have thought of one:

..And now she wears Gold on her chest.

Silence in the stadium, waiting
Glimmer of gold flashing
Photo finish!

rockinhippy · 06/08/2012 13:03

Thunder BOLT, Lightening
Very, very frightening
Mama Mia - GOLD

rockinhippy · 06/08/2012 13:06

Lightning - DOH!! so 2 syllables not 3 Grin

A Bolt for the door
Is what my Labrador makes
When I kick his arse.

Disclaimer. I don't have a dog, nor do I condone cruelty to animals.

Isn't it crazy
The greatest sporting event
Makes couch potatoes.

iklboo · 06/08/2012 17:29

What's that you sayin'
You sayin' Usain insane?
Belting bolting Bolt!

OlympyWindowMash · 06/08/2012 19:17

Cav's twinkling eyes and
his stuttering punditry
Wins gold on mumsnet

OlympiaMumsnet · 06/08/2012 19:55

I wish we had a
Cute remote-controlled Mini
To bring the toys back

Usain Bolt I saw
your bum very close up in the
stadium, last night.

bisjolympics · 06/08/2012 20:56

Or - which scans better imho:

Last night Usain Bolt
I saw your bum very close up
in the stadium

dinkystinky · 06/08/2012 22:22

Who says
White Men Cant Jump?
They can on horses!

BoffinMum · 06/08/2012 22:47

Tight little panties
Stretched over pert youthfulness
Let it rain medals

TheCunningStunt · 07/08/2012 16:38

Ride ride ride your bike
Quickly around the circuit
Merrily to Gold

Scatterplot · 07/08/2012 20:03

All hail team GB:
Shoot, sail, swim, jump, ride, row, run!
Golden Olympics

OlympiaMumsnet · 07/08/2012 21:40

One sport is not enough
The Brownlee boys prefer three
Gold and Bronze are theirs.

BoffinMum · 08/08/2012 15:10

More faithful to the original format

Summer in London
A monarch gleamed of diamonds
Let it rain medals

Mummagumma · 08/08/2012 15:28

Toddler son glimpses
Athletes bursting into sprint,
And shouts, ?walk; don?t run!?

WorriedBetty · 08/08/2012 20:44

In london its bad
when medal winners
are on bikes. Like Commuters
