Upon sensing an increase in illumination caused by parting of the lips, this special tooth plays an audio recording of a short, vague, very metaphorical sounding poem.
Hopefully the conversee will interpret this as an intelligent response to their question, and be impressed with your sagacity.
Probably
they will be so impressed with your wit and demeanor they will walk away to ponder your words, and never talk to you again.

Death to the alien race
Watch them die" [imaginality, Jul 06 2007]

The warm air wafting
As the oven door opens
Your bun awaits you
[+] |
|
| |
The sagacity!
Now I have fallen in love.
But just with that tooth. |
|
| |
Oh bugger, not a
nother round of these bloody
haikus. I hate them.
|
|
| |
You wish you were me
For - behold! - I can talk with-
out moving my lips. |
|
| |
[hippo]:
Not only that but,
I can even talk without
[wagster] moving his... |
|
| |
Our hippo with wags
acting as ventriliquist,
Can you picture it? |
|
| |
//acting as ventriliquist//
I must point out the
mis-spelling: ventrilOquist
It comes from Latin
Meaning to speak from
one's belly, oddly enough. |
|
| |
Oh, and by the way,
[Elhigh], you meant "ped-
ants", not "pedantics", surely? |
|
| |
What's the "spid" reference all about? |
|
| |
Oh god, now I've messed
up the flow of these poems.
Could we do sonnets? |
|
| |
When you need a syllable, you need a syllable. |
|
| |
You say PEDant, I say pedANT,
Let's call the whole thing off. |
|
| |
Oh oooooh, if we sing in Broadway songs then we must rhyme,
And oooooh, if we ever rhyme then we must meter in tiiiiime! |
|
| |
I thought haikus were
five-five-seven, not
five-seven-five. Bugger it. |
|
| |
first and second lines
have five syllables
you're right MaxwellBuchanan |
|
| |
A point of wonder:
the Haiku structure
is based on two prime numbers. |
|
| |
There's more choice these days
But still, haiku are mostly
In 5-7-5 |
|
| |
The number of lines
And the total syllables
Are also prime. Weird. |
|
| |
first there is Haiku
then there is
Lowku
finally there is Noku |
