I've not laughed this much for ages. You may have a nine, no wait, this is the best parody yet and it's not a haiku, here's a laughter filled ten!

thank you sweetie. i was curious, because, well, because. there are those who will broadcast these--no doubt. but they seem to have served you well. and with a tweak of wording here and there, could do for any profession. perhaps none so lucrative as hustling, but then, not all of us have the assets for that line of work. as always, thanks for your openness and honesty.
Fun
Not only are you a sarcastic bastard, you also make no sense. What are you talking about? Grimm one and Grimm two probably wouldn't say a thing about this poem, mainly because they're dead. How could you have (note that it should be 'have', not 'of') ever doubted me what? What the fuck are you on about? Please explain. Also please explain the whole Brit poppers thing.
Sooo...that over, what is so bad with this one as to warrant it a zero, may I be so bold as to ask? You don't seem to like any style other than your own, is that all that's wrong with this? Or is it really a huge pile of shit? Huh? Huh?

1.) No drinking booze while working, it impairs judgement.
2.) No drugs also for the same reason above, and it's easier for you to be injured, robbed, raped, or murdered.
3.) Never admit to being gay or straight, just smile.
4.)Keep your personal life away from conversation and work.
It pointlessly interferes and is unecessary. the less the better.
5.)Dress and preen to kill, look stunning, healthy and professional.
6.) Set your fees high, never sandbag or lowball. By doing that you ruin the market and current prices, so aim high.
7.) Be careful, and safe. your merchandise is your sexuality and health. do not jeopardize that with stupidity. CONDOMS!, be selective with your clients. use good sober judgement.
8.) While working never go home with a hetero woman, or another hustler, because queens are talkers, and word will get out that you have no standards so your price will drop.
9.)Keep all activity away from your home life and other endevours.
no need to shit where you sleep.
10.) Deny all knowledge of hustler activity with a smile always... and a short innocent laugh with blush.
11.)Create a menu with different prices and routines. be imaginative. People will appreciate you more, and you'll maintain a richer and more genuine clientelle list.
12.)Guilt is your worst enemy. don't take it out on others or yourself. It WILL KILL YOU. therefore vacation alot, and mix up your daily schedule with alot of creative and endorphin releasing
activities.
disclosure: this list is neither fact or fiction, and spreading it around like it's funny will just make you look like a dolt. not me. for more hustler insight...read tennesse williams short "one arm". thank you for your time. good bye sweet moses
Juvenile and just kinda stupid. The repeat of "get your" makes it look like you just couldn't think of two other syllables worth of something to say and on a haiku, that's saying something.

The sad thing Mr. La Bog, is that i can always spellcheck and solve my problems in spelling. If i so choose. But there is no 'imagination check' which means you're fucked. Therefore, you are still a d-i-s-a-p-p-o-i-n-m-e-n-t. Even with a gallon of electric eels pourne into an enima i fear could not shock life back into that maggot riddled heap of road kill somewhere in nebraska that you label your imagination. I fear years at the chalkboard have taken their toll. Must i take a poll
Hmmm...I really don't think this is the right time for the sentiment expressed in your poem.
Thank you both for the kind word. I am particularly enamoured withthe Olivier comment. High praise indeed, thank you.
my bro said it all
where for art thou 'mollusc king'? will there be more of that?
an epic as usual but the 1st one of yours I took time to read and t'was worth the scrolling
apply your mask each day
to mimic every face in the sea
all you are is a pattern
carved out of your own misery
**best thing i read all day
I could really understand where you were coming from with this, its very good I like the point it makes about us all being 'fabric cyborgs' on the road to success with a free stopover at a town called failure. We do immerse ourselves in the plasma screens of misery and repetitiveness. This is groundhog day of pain, a head on collision resulting from death on the international highway on the road to hell, a million and one things can be said, sad very sad state of existence and you said it very well -10-
I imagined Olivier reading this with a skull in his hand, not a bad effort
Aside from the massacre of the word phoenix, the syllable count is wrong.
Still not bad.
How about:
"when man uses flame
to kill a phoenix, he makes
his own enemy"
or
"a new enemy"
Either way. Unless you don't care that it's not a Haiku, in which case, it's cool.
Sometimes the stream of consciousness is polluted and all the fishies wash up on the shore.
