Banjo haiku

Cooky is our occasional stage-fellow, he was in the band and now plays with us sometimes. These Haiku are about him.

i am hugely drunk.
whisky whisky whisky whis-
ky whisky whisky

look in my glasses
your drunken soul is upon
my enormous face

banjo is easy
see, i don't need finger picks
my beard is so FAST

Further suggestions welcome.

Additional:

Aled sent in these Smokey Bastard Haiku and I thought them too good to leave them rotting in the comments box so I shall add them here. - Chris

Bastard Haiku

A smokey bastard
Once told me about a band
Called "Smokey Bastard"

He smelled quite smokey
And was born out of wedlock
Thus "smokey bastard"

By pure happen-chance
This fellow enjoyed folk-punk
Played by his namesakes

(When I say namesake
I am not quite accurate
His name's not "SB"-

It is just a neat
And relevant description
of his aroma

And of his parents'
Marital situation
In his infancy)

Anyhoo, this chap
Who doesn't really exist
Had introduced me

To Smokey Bastard
(That's the band, not the person
who I just made up)
