SupercalifragilisticBorussiaMönchengladbach
Almost A Single Word Haiku Bringing Together Mary Poppins And The Bundesliga
SupercalifragilisticBorussiaMönchengladbach is used in the song “The Bastard Son of Dean Friedman” by Half Man Half Biscuit. Nigel Blackwell came up with it and this is my piece on him with links to his lyrical genius. read more about it below.
Obviously a steal from the Mary Poppins song but it is both clever and funny and much better than Dick Van Dyke’s iconic terrible Cockney Accent.
Dr Joun Cooper Clarke came up with one of the funniest Haiku and you can read about that here (I'm not intending to repeat myself. If I can avoid it).
I think this is almost a Haiku in one word, with the addition of one syllable I can turn it into a Haiku
