Saturday night's ramen haiklu (something like haiku)

                                                                      

Ramen gossip -

the ramen chef

has a hole

in his sock

and it’s

strangling his toe

the ramen maid enquires

how was the ramen?

the customer answers

fucking amazing!

                                                                      

 

the ramen chefs

eat salad on their break

‘to stave off scurvy’

I hear them say

 

fruit fly lands

on a chopstick

does he know 

                     it’s a haiku moment?

                                                                         

matsumori - 

     minced pork

              corn, bokchoy & beansprouts

in a thick hearty miso

          and don’t forget  the

sesame

              and

                         tonkotsu

                                               broth
