Ichimawashi 573 Posted July 22, 2020 (Not a Haiku by any means, but imagine Ishiura and Enho bringing to the dohyo for the final match a few more Miyagino minstrels and singing these lyrics from Monty Python and the Holy Grail...)  Hakuho, the Greatest in sumo Of All Time He was not afraid to fall Brave Yokozuna! He was not afraid to lose or fall down in nasty ways All hail, brave Yokozuna!  He was not in the least bit scared to land on his taped-up toes Nor to crush a fan or two, or land on the judges He was not at all afraid to be hurt in nasty ways Old - but brave Yokozuna!  His head banged into the water jug His legs giv’n out and his elbow smashed His forehead bruised on a zabuton His mawashi....  (Hakuho raises a hand, music stops): I think maybe that’s enough music for now lads, I have a match against Endo to win.  (Match over, Hakuho leaves with musicians behind, shaking his head and denying the allegations in the closing lyrics angrily:)  Yokozuna jumped away Bravely leapt away away When danger reared its ugly head, he jumped and down the aisle he fled He ran away, he buggered off, he felt the floor was not so soft We waited for his brave return to accept the kensho and bow and turn But instead of training’s pure tuck and roll, he leapt to reap the safest goal Bravely, bravely, still un-beat, avoiding injury’s defeat, he ran away brave Yokozuna!    2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
