SPECIAL EDITION OF BRIAN TAIRAKU RITCHIE'S SHAKU POETRY
THESE WERE FOUND IN BRIAN'S OLD APARTMENT IN MILWAUKEE AFTER HE MOVED TO TASMANIA. THEY'RE ARE "THE LOST HAIKU". UNSIGNED
HAIKU:
STARING; THE EMPTY MUG
HOLDING MY BAD BEER
UNQUENCHABLE THIRST
DRINKING MORE AND MORE BAD BEER
ATTEMPTING TO FIND THE ESSENTIAL POPEYE
CAN'T STOP HOLDING MY EDIFICE
PARCHED REMNANTS OF
RECEIPTS FOR FIVE BAD BEERS
STILL BLOWING BAMBOO
IT'S BEEN 14 DAYS SINCE 1 DON'T KNOW WHEN
FONDLING THIS BIG GREEN BAMBOO
DO YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN?
HOPS GROWING, HERE, THERE.
LOOKING OVER THE KINGDOM
FARTS AND BAD BEER
WHILE TRYING NOT TO SPILL HIS BAD BEER
I PEED ON THE SIDE OF KEN'S TRUCK.
THEN BLEW SELF MORE AND MORE.

Chikuzen didn't write ANYTHING. These were found in the ceiling of Brian Tairaku Ritchie's apartment in Milwaukee. Everyone knows that.
IT SEEMS LIKE THE APRIL 1ST MAGIC HAS WORN OFF AND THE POETRY HAS BEEN ALTERED TO KEEP THE ORIGINAL FLAVOR. BUT IT'S CHANGED NOW.

For some reason, I still have a strong craving for red beans and rice.
