This can be a thread where you can all post your Amazon Haikus. I know you've all been writing them - so here is where you can put them for all to see.

Here's one of mine...

amazon's crazy
changing prices testing site
losing customers

don't be shy - here's another one:


amazon disease
birds flying through the trees-
my hairy sack

An hour on hold...
"Amazon, can I help you?"
"Order specialist?"

"Please hold." (Another hour)
"Your order has been cancelled."
"Um. Um. Um. Um. Thanks?"

Waah waah waah waah waah,
Waah waah waah waah waah waah waah,
Waah waah waah waah waah!

HAHAHA... I love it!

Chill out everyone
Give Amazon a whirl
We all make mistakes

=====
Considering all the B.S. I have gone through with the other online retailers, this is nothing. This is not like waiting 2-3 months for some other retailers to ship items, not like getting the wrong DVD wnd having to go through the hassle of returning it. Just make your order, if they honour it, great! If not, oh well .

Chilling out does not help to understand the chi

More Haikus please

long hold times
for support I should not need
is this a bargain?

amazon is good
they will still gets my business
long live amazon

What's the proper format for a Haiku?

amazon dot come here
and step on my soft soft head
squish hard, crush my Jaws

------------------
Sleeper - dreaming life away -

Proper Haiku Format is this...

A poem that doesn't have to rhyme...
first line 5 syllables
second line 7 syllables
third line 5 syllables

This does not HAVE to be the case - in english it is a bit harder to get the syllables exactly than it is in chinese. You could have a 4, 7, 3 if you want...

It's all about understanding the chi.

the first two lines should be one statement
the last line should be related.

Just let the chi flow through you.

It doesn't have to be perfect.

Fix the price from greed?
Preorders will go elsewhere
The giant must die

This is dedicated to some of you:

Hear me weep and moan
Did not get Jet Li box set
I'll spend days bitching

Amazon prices
So low, so intentional,
So sorry.

I'm not all that happy with Amazon at the mo, lets just leave it at that.

Fhrx poops parties
Unable to write a Haiku,
Smelly underpants

Amazon dot CON
Lies to me and lies to you
I hope Bezos chokes

Most foul Amazon
fishy lies no compensate,
Naked cheerleaders

(just wanted to end a haiku with "naked cheerleaders" sorry... back to the Haikus)

keeping this trend

Blind to the truth
how I love thee, Amazon
Brown Nose shows real truth

I hate Scamazon:
Lies, mistakes, duplicity.
Got a spare GC?

not a tree in site
shouldn't be called amazon
punks send my crap late!

stockholders are stupid
they deserve to fail

"What a deal", thought I,
"Ha ha, just kidding", said they
HELLO BUY DOT COM!

Amazon is suck
anything to make a buck
kekekekeke

I'm bored.

You are disrupting
the chi of this haiku thread
Who is this "John"?

Buson is whirling in his grave...

Amazon dot com
Lies to all their customers
Prices? Illusion.

That was too funny
Haiku thread was great idea
You're all so clever

^up^

Brazil on its way
Amazon makes good on it,
Happy butterflies

a river of deals
dries up right before my eyes
tears moisten Amazonian mud

-coco

Chapters makes mistake
they cancel my order for me,
they're no Amazon

No Playstation 2
Instead of four hundred bucks
send me ten canucks.
