Title Snyku: Shorts
Author Bruttimabuoni
Rating G
Word Count 169
Prompt 136 (Band Candy: the factory)
Characters/Pairing (if any) Snyder(/Joyce, in his dreams)
A/N: Some dialogue is taken from the episode Band Candy, written by Jane Espenson. With apologies to mere_ubu and other distinguished practitioners of Spaiku, whose concept inspired this. The end products are rather different, though.



Love my profession.
High school is sheer perfection
Without the students

Band candy tastes nummy.
I feel rejuvenated.
Can I have some more?

Lonely Principal
Seeks understanding woman
For night of dalliance

So this is the Bronze.
There are some foxy ladies
Here tonight. Whoa yeah!

I took Tae Kwan Do
And got a commendation
Have lots to offer

Taller men always
Attract admiring glances
I am overlooked

They have been smoking
And drinking all afternoon
Should get detention

MilkBar factory
Must be source of evil spell
Joyce Summers is there

Woman of my dreams
Perfect lips, eating chocolate
Feathers teasing neck

Deep breath, take courage:
“So are you two... kinda like
Um... going steady?”

She turns her shoulder
Rolls her eyes, watches cool kids
Fighting with weapons

A lovely woman
Who chews gum elegantly
Not like the students.

Mother of Buffy,
Troublemaker. Dates would be
Unprofessional

Babies in danger
Librarian plays champion
I go home quietly

Some guys are heroes
They get the girlfriends. That’s my
Reality. Sigh.

I think rotten tomatoes would be more apt. But you can't say you weren't warned!

Alas for poor Snyder that's the truth.

And not even a haiku to commemorate his death by snake.

(I may have to fix that at some point. After I've laid down with a damp cloth on my head for a while and stopped thinking like Snyder).

[brutti-ma-buoni.livejournal.com]

(but for nothing else, right?)

Thanks!

I am delighted. Utterly. I am especially entertained by the idea that he thinks he's losing out because he's short! Oh, the dissociation! (Spike could show he a thing or two, not that it would help.)

*applause*

I so wish I was home, so I could load my "Kung Fu Fighting Snyder" icon!

[brutti-ma-buoni.livejournal.com]

Ah, we short people do tend to blame it for all ills. (William probably did; Spike needn't bother). But Snyder is *not* my Mary Sue, just so we're clear.

I saw your icon on something when I'd started writing this - I thought how perfect it was for Snaiku!

I hate to say it, but Snyder has a point. Schools are lovely and peaceful without the kids!

Great stuff. You impersonate the worm well!

[brutti-ma-buoni.livejournal.com]

I'm horrified by how much of this I could agree with (gum is foul, students are messy, short people get overlooked. I repeat *Snyder is not my Mary Sue*. Ack).

This made me quite sad for him. Which was unexpected.

[brutti-ma-buoni.livejournal.com]

Well, he is pathetic in his own way. But as Rebcake comments, it's not *just* about the height...

[angelus2hot]

Excellent writing!!

It almost makes me feel sorry for Snyder......almost

[brutti-ma-buoni.livejournal.com]

Heh. Thanks. I wouldn't wast too time feeling sorry for him, but he is a tragic little worm!

[smhwpf.livejournal.com]

Fabulous! A perfect view into Sny's brain...

[brutti-ma-buoni.livejournal.com]

*g* Are you sure we want to look at his brain? But thanks!

[cmk418]

Excellent!

[brutti-ma-buoni.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

[shapinglight]

Poor old Snyder. Don't usually feel sorry for him.

[brutti-ma-buoni.livejournal.com]

I think he feels quite sorry enough for himself - but haiku tends to come out reflective, not wormlike!

[brutti-ma-buoni.livejournal.com]

*g* Glad you liked them!
