Not hackneyed or trite,
but bright and sharp as a knife,
Giving weird thoughts life
| | | | | Brian Matheison
Forget the Goon Show;
Spike's epitaph must remain
His jibe at Prince Charles.
| | | | | Will Green
Try saying Spaiku
after somebody sneezes
and they'll say thank you
| | | | | Gavin Jackson

So where do we go from here?
Spike still sadly missed

Door bound they tell me
To turn the knob on my side
My knob is elsewhere

"A haiku?" cried Spike
"I'll never conform to this,
Oh no, I just have"
| |
|
| John Lewis
Thanks, dear old Spike,
Goon but never forgotten:
I laughed till I cried.
| | | Steve Williams
This man was a goon,
A great buffoon Iām quite sure,
His like never seen before.

| David O'Neill
There once was a goon
called "Spike" who decided to
write a haiku. As ...

He made it a limerick too.

No rigid form can praise the

If spike had known blair,
He'd pull away his arm chair,
Each time he sat down

but your mad eccentric skill
Meant no-one believed you
