Here are some Punchout Haikus I wrote
Glass Joe
Gaunt, punch-blanched coward.
“Watch the jaw!! Don’t hit my jaw!”
Mario counts ten.
Von Kaiser
He says Surrender!
Acad’my’s boxing teacher
now soars through the air.
Piston Honda
Japanese tower
I just might need that helmet
God, his feet are huge!
Don Flamenco
Spanish pugilist
Lover not a fighter
Roses in your teeth
King Hippo
Hop, hop, hippo. Bounce.
A knuckle sandwich for you
Dropped trunks, fallen king
Great Tiger
Turban gem flashes
Dodge or counter for a star?
Sleight of a gloved hand
Bald Bull
Crouched, ready to charge
Baldly, the bull comes my way
Timing so perfect
Soda Popinski
I drink to prepare
for a fight. Tonight I am
very prepared. *DING*
Mr. Sandman
The man with the sand
White flashes, swift uppercuts
Dodge thrice. Or lights out.
Super Macho Man
“I’m totally tough”
Pirouette with angry fists
Musclebound danseur
Mr. Dream
Mister Dream, white thief
Eponymous dream, a nightmare.
Mike’s gonna rape you.
