the olestra-haiku log

I thought these, um, deserved their own venue. You probably want Corey's Olestra haiku page anyway. (Or the everything-but-Olestra haiku log, maybe.)

Peter Weyhrauch (pww) (haiku.olestra) [21-Jan-1996, 20:59]
Olestra my love,
Take me down the road to health.
Ack -- constant dripping!

Corey Kosak (kosak) (haiku.olestra) [21-Jan-1996, 21:01]
This anal leakage--
Not bad, one gets used to it
More potato chips!

Vitamin Packers
Cannot undo the pain of ...
Malnutrition, Stain

You refer to it
As fecal incontinence
For me, it's----Freedom

Constant dilemma:
Stairmaster or bathroom stall?
Olestra twinkie

Greasy, slimey chips
My gut does not absorb them
They pass through unchanged

Peter Weyhrauch (pww) (haiku.olestra) [21-Jan-1996, 21:11]
There once was a man from Canart,
The champion master of Fart,
Gangooli put 'lestra
In the man's Bouef d'Fenestra,
We're wet, he's upset -- no Art.

Corey Kosak (kosak) (haiku.olestra) [21-Jan-1996, 21:12]
Olestra twinkies
Continuous anal leak
No more need to shit

Freely, seek the little fix

pushes all people down the
crapper -- but faster.

The road to hell is
paved with the good intentions
of chemical love.

Feel flood coming on
Sphincter tactility smooth
Hmmm, perhaps too smooth

of modern times approaching:

Olestra twinkie--
Sometimes regular twinkie
Keeps anus guessing

Body Craves Slipping
Sounds and Feeling Fresh: Answer,
Olestra Twinkie.

what are we doing
killing ourselves to look thin

Tells more truth than therapy:
I can't live with me.

lestra forever!"

David Steere (dcs) (haiku.olestra) [21-Jan-1996, 21:50]

not just from fat reduction,
all that running too.

David Steere (dcs) (haiku.olestra) [21-Jan-1996, 21:51]
Olestra, eat all
the fat you want, but better
fix the plumbing first

My bowl overflows
with food -- just like my bowels.
Damn that Olestra.

I feel like a grease comet
trailing brownish foam

Jonathan Hardwick (jch) (haiku.olestra) [21-Jan-1996, 22:01]
The hostess squirms with
shame (and stains). Shrimp salad has
too much Olestra!

Imagine the scene.
Farmer Jim's buried in shit.
Fed cows Olestra.

please this is enough!
How can I work with this noise
go and shit elsewhere.

Her sexy figure
Genes or anorexia?
Check shorts: olestra

No constipated blasts here --
Just gentle dribbles.

Justin Lyon Boyan (jab) (haiku.olestra) [21-Jan-1996, 22:05]
A man went to eat in a Restaura',
Where Crisco was swapped for Olestra.
He loosened his belt
(Something funny he smelt)
And he found in his pants quite a messtra.

Jonathan Hardwick (jch) (haiku.olestra.d) [21-Jan-1996, 22:07]
Ahh! Haiku no more,
I fear I'm olestra'd out.
Now must do laundry.

James M Stichnoth (stichnot) (haiku.olestra) [21-Jan-1996, 22:07]
No wedding night bliss:
Stains sighted, partner sickened.
Virginity stays.

Justin Lyon Boyan (jab) (haiku.olestra) [21-Jan-1996, 22:09]
Olestra cut
One syllable per line.
Yet none saved, `cuz:

drip
drip
drip
drip
drip
drip

but then, calories are gone
spiraling downward

How long must we wait?
Eliza must do haiku
about Olestra.

Peter Weyhrauch (pww) (haiku.olestra) [21-Jan-1996, 22:16]
I used to be ugly, and fat,
and my life was going down the tubes.
But I got really, really sick of that,
I wanted something more...

Chorus:
Olestra is my savior,
Olestra is my friend,
But if I am not careful,
It'll get me in the end.

It started in the kitchen,
A revolution sprang from glory,
So I got really, really bitchen',
And this is my true story...

Chorus

My first date was with Lisa,
I thought everything was perfect,

too tired, cannot finish ...

Corey Kosak (kosak) (haiku.olestra) [21-Jan-1996, 22:19]
My first date was with Lisa,
I thought everything was perfect,
But my ass felt a little greas-a,
And soon I was a reject

Peter Weyhrauch (pww) (haiku.olestra) [21-Jan-1996, 22:20]
Olestra is my savior,
Olestra is my friend,
But if I am not careful,
It'll get me in the end.



Justin Boyan (jab) (haiku.olestra) [24-Jan-1996, 13:10]

Scatological zephyrs --
Horse flogged quite well, thanks

(Actually, I still think they're funny. Never mind.)

Corey Kosak (kosak) (haiku.olestra) [24-Jan-1996, 13:18]

Our favorite aid
Pepto Bismal bids farewell
Olestra's our cure

Forty minute ride
on PAT; nothing else to do;
thus I write haiku

White substance keeps coming down
Straight through to sewer

From fertilizer

Corey Kosak (kosak) (olestra.haiku.received-mail.who-says-cmu-is-irrelevant?) [21-Feb-1996, 13:53]
hey, you. your olestra haiku page made the rounds here at
netscape. i sent it to a friend who is a suit at p&g
headquarters in cincinnati. too bad he's too chicken to
send it around. :)


--- Forwarded mail

Very impressive list of haiku...I didn't know that Olean (as we at THE
COMPANY call it) was such an inspiration with the literary class. I didn't
share any with the big boys downtown, though, since they aren't allowed to
have a sense of humor. (I've had to camoflage mine with a bit of make-up
every morning just to be let in the building)

---End of forwarded mail

Seal Envy (snl) (olestra.haiku.received-mail.who-says-cmu-is-irrelevant?) [21-Feb-1996, 13:58]

badly affect eaters of
olestra? (Ice jam)

Longer logger hens (ghn) (weather.temp.haiku.olestra.environment) [11-Mar-1996, 09:37]
we use olestra
our waste into the rivers
then they flow smoothly

Longer logger hens (ghn) (weather.temp.haiku.olestra.environment) [11-Mar-1996, 09:43]
will our carelessness
give nature a way to cure
her constipation?

Paul W Placeway (pwp) (olestra.haiku) [11-Apr-1996, 10:08]
Olestra Haiku
Many variations here
Sphincter on the mind

Me life slowly slips down the loo."
