A pompous conductor named Clyde
Had an ego bigger than his belly was wide,
To gain office, he conducted a grand swindle,
This nature got exposed, and his popularity did dwindle,
How delightfull Clyde! The voters only got a short ride.

A pompous conductor named Clyde
Was as punctual as he was wide,
But then once, sharp at four,
He got stuck in the door,
And that train journey punctured his pride.

A pompous conductor named Clyde
Was overtaken by unshakable pride
When folks thought him funny
He thought of the money
Then laughed so hard he cried.

A pompous conductor named Clyde
Took music detractors in stride
To comments he’d listen well
But think, “There’s no way in hell
I’d let them put a crack in my pride.”

A pompous conductor named Clyde
Took tickets, what else had he tried?
With uniform just so and pristine
He married his fiance, Christine
And honeymooned by train with his bride.

Unsure how to write
Bawdy haiku: violates
Creators’ intent

But in days ahead
{Mad Kane endorses attempts}
May be so inspired…

A pompous conductor named Clyde
Had a mean streak at least nine miles wide:
Before stamping each ticket
He’d bark, “Sir, you must lick it -
Now, shake it ’til dry on each side!”

But a young boy observed this behavior
And, determined to be patrons’ savior,
When Clyde reached for his ticket
Exclaimed, “Don’t have us lick it
‘Til it’s stamped: it’ll have far more flavor.”

A pompous conductor named Clyde
Dated Bonnie (all joking aside);
He, a bit of a prankster,
Liked to dress as a gangster
And attempt to rob banks on the side.

Bonnie learned of his on-off success
(Smoother heists left no blood, muck, or mess);
Now o’erseeing each raid,
Her ring’s premium grade:
They rake in more than one’d ever guess.

So Clyde meekly conducts trains by day,
And each weekend the pair go away
To the seashore, the coast
Where he’ll pompously boast
Of HIS Bonnie: a legend, they’ll say…

A pompous conductor named Clyde
Saw each day pretty girls that he eyed:
After stamping each ticket
He would furtively stick it
Down his pants: as a keepsake, he sighed…
