All the world's a stage

...And all the men and women merely players.

It's haiku day - Westernised 5-7-5 format. I'll start:

Lanard Copeland

Veteran shooter
Hot or cold; when turned sideways
He can disappear


I know that Bo has a couple up his sleeve.

I might have...

John Casey

User-friendly roll
Waved away by the umpire
Say something new, please


David Stiff
--
Oh, sweet pivot foot
Unorthodox foul machine
Close eyes when dribbling

Uncontrolled human
Skilled, yet wiring not quite right
Oh no, punched the ref

thedoctor, you beat me to it! Your middle line could be "Any could coach them and win".

Might be an interesting variant to have people submit their haikus and leave others guessing the identity.

The whistle screams out
Pants down, I bend at the hip
Please ref - be gentle

My lungs burn acrid
Legs heavy, knee hurts, can't jump.
Fuck I'm getting old.

With Bo already in mind.
Multiple nicknames?

Curious Moose - clever, but to explain - I was running the idea of Six Word Match Reports past Bo by email, and then thought of Haiku player profiles and match reports, so we traded a couple to see if it was worth a shot.
