A Golden Gopher
Is a normal gopher in
A golden shower

Row, row, row your boat
Into Kris Jenkins et al.
You lost your paddle

"Minnesota nice"?
I think you all are just like
Jerry Lundegaard

You know we will drink
Your mini-soda out of
Our Little Brown Jug

Oh Minnesota
You couldn't even win it
Against Sheridan

The shine has come off
Of ol' head coach PJ Fleck.
Well, his head still shines

Athan the Greek Freak
Only handing off the ball
Won't work on *this* line.

There are many things to love about this haiku.  But to me, it is the juxtaposition of a classic naturalistic first stanza with seemingly unrelated, increasingly jarring, second and third stanzas, each being an independent, transcendent statement shattering the quietude of the pastoral first scene. And yet on further reflection, the connection between all three stanzas becomes apparent, emerging from the fog and racing straight at you.

PJ'S not not very bright

His boat going in circles

Need oars...not paddles

 

PJ sounds like a

Sleazy carnival barker

Too bad he can't coach

 

Hungry Wolverines

Eat Gophers for a light snack

Then spit out their bones

And now for the limerick.

There once was a coach PJ Fleck
Whose team started looking like dreck
He said "Row the boat!"
They said, "Coach, it won't float!"
And the game ended as a shipwreck
