Mornington 5-7-5
help
Mornington Crescent
Can be played in Haiku Form
Let the game commence!
arrow_circle_up
Knightsbridge (or maybe Latimer road??? Never)
Let's go to Old Street
Brandishing podumes so green
And strangely tacky.
Lacking clearer hope
Gather stray tokens, and move
To Fulham Broadway
I'll play Cutty Sark
(for Maritime Greenwich) - Bang!
Hit your battleship.
That was not clever.
It clears the way to Green Park
You know what that means.
Indeed we do know
And must ask why you force me
To play Dollis Hill
And in turn, escape
Via Ongar, threatening
MC in seven.
MC in seven?
We'll soon put a stop to that!
Kings Cross St Pancras.
Kings Cross St Pancras?
I was going to go there
So, Shoreditch instead
*whiskering* Temple.
MC now impregnable.
ner ner ne ner ner
To shed my LV
Forces me all the way out
To Colindale. Rats!
Dagenham Heathway!
LotUS, Chalky, Kiwi Chris,
All now caught in Spoon.
MC in Seven?
Just your moves, or total?
Almost there - Archway!
You seem to ignore
The power of Aldgate East
To distort the map
pen] Academic
Now at least. Limiting the
Damage: Chiswick Park
Oh no, caught in spoon
what oh what can I do now?
limps off to Croxley
Kiwi Chris is blocked:
Purple tokens on Croxley.
Main move to Holborn.
I've just bent my Spoon!
That means I can progress to ...
Wait for it ... Fairlop.
First spoon'd and now block'd
Times are hard for Kiwi Chris
Flees now to Blackwall
Blackwall is no use!
Your number is almost up!
Westminster / Temple
I'm feeling unwell
Ravenscourt Park? No help there!
Oooh, OoooooYAKABOO
Needle nardle noo
Quickly moving to Neasden
(Beware of Lurgi)
You silly twisted
Boy you. However, I play
Walthamstow Central
Feel a bit beset
Seek refuge with the scout troop
Found in East Finchley
East? No, West Finchley
To prevent Chris from using
The secret tunnel.
West Finchley? Ha ha!
My trap is sprung with Oakwood
Darren now in spoon
Kiwi Chris. Spoon? Pah!
Custom House for Excel which
places you in knip.
Oww, Knipped in the bud
My boyish good looks ruined :)
Knips off to Hampstead
And now play can start
With a strile to Oval, yes!
Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! No.
The fountain, lions,
Nelson's Column. This is not
Mill Hill East, is it?
Is this North Ealing
I see before me? Ah no,
Nought but Perivale.
Out Out damned spot!
Is there a laundromat at
Leyton, I wonder
You'll find no dirt here
So says my new lawyer friend
In Canary Wharf.
A phantom player
Plays a hidden ghost station
Then leaves silently.
The Phantom Player!
Out Out accursed eidolon
Flees to Bethnal Green
Moves barefoot to Bank
Does not notice sharp podume
Ow! Ow! Ow! Ow! Ow!
Movement projected
Exceeds Charing Cross limits
Starting global spoon
Global Spoon? Well now,
We'll see about that when I
Shelter at Ongar
Global Spoon you say?
Stocks up on anti-spoon pills
At Brondesbury
Global Spoon? My arse.
Flounce all you like, Darren, but
Leyton will triumph.
Sliding through via
Charing Cross for two podumes
And to Leytonstone
Is this a spoon which
I see before me? The hand
le toward my hand?
Come, let me clutch thee
I have thee not, and yet I
See thee still, at Bank
Not me, squire! You Err.
Your bifocals need changing
For I'm in Stanmore
and have been for Lo! These many days and then some, Alone and Adrift
I notice Chalky
Has played the famous "my arse."
This means Farringdon
Escalating the
Violence, and invoking
Uh-oh!: Upton Park.
Fresh from the weekend
I check my favourite game
And move to Archway
Stale after the pub
I check my favourite game
And then return here.
(Oops, a bit too loud)
After a long shift
I am pleased to see my home
MC on the screen
(and miss the point entirely)
Dropped in yonks ago...
Harrow and Wealdstone!
I say, and then leave.
When I am sober
I can count my syllables
before I submit.
Release those podumes!
[Standard mis-counting forfeit]
Now I'll play Oval
A shot in the dark
And a really sinister
Podume found at Bank.
Taking heed of the
Sinister Podume alert
Hiding at New Cross
Poisoned litter to
Scatter at Wimbledon should
Bag a few Wombles
What have the Wombles
Done to you? Moving to build
A refuge at Bank
All those Christmas songs!
You should mind your own beeswax
Meanwhile, Leicester Square
But they are so cute
Didn't know they made beeswax :)
Anyway, Uxbridge
Only heard one song.
What are the other ones then?
*Hops off at Temple*
The Womble songbook
Is easily found.Google!
Fleeing to Mile End
The commentator
speaking in hushed tones tells us
the endgame is near.
Speaking in hushed tones
I tell the players that it's
A game of two halves.
I'll have to *f*a*r*k*l*e*
While I shoot myself in the
HTML head.
Simons continues
To comment without playing
I move back to Bank
Making a late tilt
At undeserved glory
I essay Bond Street!
(that's "un-de-ser-ved", BTW)
Reasserting my
Authority (podumes-wise)
One more at Poplar.
Perhaps I should frume
But even now I think that's
unduly forward.
once again I see that
the haiku game is living
I say: "right foot Bank"
and spontaneously forget how to count...
Counting carefully
Moving off to Mill Hill East
Scheming a dark scheme
Is everyone lulled?
I don't really need to know,
I'm just curious.
Exploding onto
The scene and pushing onward
To Fulham Broadway
Looking around I
see that the game has moved
to Mill Hill, the Hale
The time is now right
For me to enter the game;
Mornington Crescent.
I call thee offside!
However, I'm not, and:
Mornington Crescent!!
*shouts, screams, generally goes wild for Tuj*
I did enjoy that
But all good things must come to
