Double Bass Gig Haiku

[fdeck]

Archimedes' Law:
Water seeks its own level,
So does Pops rosin.

 

[bassist14]

gaston brohan helps:
his rosin is much better
**** de ****in pops!

gaston brohan helps:
his rosin is much better
**** de ****in pops!

Maybe that is true
I will have to try a cake
When my Pops runs out

 

[Sam Sherry]

Didn’t I play here
Three owners before this one
For twice as much pay?

 

[Sam Sherry]

My Spiro Mittels
Are older than the drummer.
Where are my earplugs?

 

[Jake deVilliers]

My Spiro Mittels
Are older than the drummer.
Where are my earplugs?

LOL

 

[Stan Haskins]

If I see this book
On my practice stand again
I know god hates me

 

[Jazzdogg]

You don’t know Lush Life?
You call yourself a Jazzer?
I’m disappointed.

Drummer plays Forte
He overpowers the band
Our dynamics suck

The trumpet player
Thinks high notes are better notes
Play pretty notes, man

The leader calls out
Keep vamping on the One-chord
When will this gig end?

The chick singer knows
About hair, clothes, and makeup
Not when to come in

Damned rock guitarists
All of their songs in sharp keys
Horn players hate ‘em

The Guitar player
Thinks loud notes are better notes
My effing ears hurt

 

[Jeff Michael]

Here's my talkbass haiku.

Newby inquires:
"six hundred dollar upright?"
All: "get a teacher."

+1 "This ones for the tenor sax..... in E" :scowl:

 

[dj150888]

You promised free beer!
You said double that money!
Sick of getting screwed.

What? Full pay on time?
This is a strange occurence
When can we rebook?

 

[Jeff Michael]

Manager loves us!
We are his favorite band!
Next week he'll be gone.

The conductor stops.
'Please look at bar ten."
The bassist asks, 'whats ten?"

New bass to try!
This could be the start of something big....
Like a fire!

The ship's going down.
Bassist looks at drummer...
'Hell, let's play in four!'

Counting syllables
While reading Currie's verses
Is this a haiku?

 

[fergus currie]

Damn, it's seventeen!
I'm a bass player!
what do you expect from me?

The conductor stops.
'Please look at bar ten."
The bassist asks, 'what is 'ten'?"

New bass to try!
This could be the start of something big....
Like a bonfire!

The ship starts going down.
Bassist looks at drummer...
'Hell, let's play in four!'

'Any better?' asks Currie,
Waits for reply....
Typical bass forum......

 

[SAlcott]

Haiku is 17 syllables, broken up 5-7-5. See #4.

 

[fergus currie]

Oh! five, seven, five!
I am just a bass player!
what do you expect?

The conductor stops.
'Can we please look at bar ten."
Bassist asks, 'what's 'ten'?"

A new bass to try!
Could be the start of something....
Like a big bonfire!

The ship starts to sink.
Bassist looks at the drummer...
'Hell, let's play in four!'

This haiku business,
it is harder than it seems.
I'm just getting there!

 

[bassteban]

Fergus Currie- YES!
Now there is congruity
Like the 4 seasons

Admittedly though
I've gigged not on my DB
in a dog's long life

Selling much, to gain
repair funds for the doghouse-
gigging one day soon...

 

[fdeck]

Full PA system
Forest of microphone stands...
An acoustic band

 

[fergus currie]

Ah, Bottesini!!!
I can play the first eight bars,
then I have to stop.
