So many guitars, so little time....

Hey Jim, if you and I got into Jeff Goldblum's Teleporting/gene splicing machine from the film "The Fly" and merged into one person, and somebody wrote a haiku about this, it would be:
Cohen-Perlowin; a
dangerous lunatic with
acceptable tone.
I'm going to stop now before I get into even more trouble.

We had a steel guitar haiku contest here some years ago. My favorite (and the sylable count is right!) was this: quote:
If you've heard it once
You've heard it a thousand times,
"Play Steel Guitar Rag"

Here are a few of mine from past threads.
Working on Harley
Arc flash from wire feed welding
No Bud's Bounce tonite
Cleaned up my Sho-Bud
Brand new SIT String set
What's my excuse now?
Old Chuck the Chicken
Waiting in the freezer for
Thanksgiving dinner.
My friend Larry Behm
Hiding Masterful Technique
behind music stand
Godfather Montee
Might be coming to the gig
Hope he orders fries
Doug Jones, young tiger
might be coming too to hear
all my old cliches
This Bi-Polar stuff
isn't getting much help from
Haiku Compulsion.
Working on Panhead
A Hobby is important
Music is S#### here.
Practiced some this week
Thought I'd forgotten Bud's Bounce
I found I was right.
Gotta run right now
Need some Red and Blue Loctite
Bikers understand.
Thinking in Haiku
Seems to make my thoughts clearer
My friends think I'm nuts.
Sounding Out Cuss Words
for when I scrape my knuckles
we'll see how it goes.
Oh, and all my friends;
they thought I was nuts before
who really needs 'em?
Jim Cohen put forth these Gems:
Jam session bassist
Observes fourteen soloists
Contemplates murder
Say, do you guys know
"Wedding Song" by Kenny G?
Buy the damn record
Riffing on "Rudolph"
Musicians in red and green
Learn humility
I'm sending a sub
But don't worry, he'll be fine
He's fresh from rehab
Solo pianist
Freed from all constraints of form
Heedlessly mangles
Jazz nymphs crowd bandstand
Offering carnal delights
My alarm clock rings
Double-timing bone
Sounds like somebody chewing
On a rubber band
Forty-two straight gigs
With no requests for "Take Five"
Time to call Guinness
Free jazz temptation
Strikes during the bride's first dance
What Would Wynton Do?
New Years revelers
Here's hoping the stroke of twelve
Sends you the hell home
Checking out women
High stages and low necklines
Great combination
A new world's record
For choruses on "A Train"
My band hates me now
That plate of hors d'oeuvres
Cost more than we're getting paid
Think we underbid?
Break time is over
Rest of band is returning
Now for that phone call
Rock drummer, lounge keys
Classically trained singer
Welcome to sub hell
God bless trust fund gigs
Only have to eat ramen
For a few more weeks
My drummer helped me
Count the syllables
In this Haiku
I'll have to come up with one for Hunter S Thompson's trip to oblivion...

Hunter S Thompson
Blew his brains out on Sunday.
He chose his own doom.
(Sorry HST I couldn't help it.)

His final request
To mix with powder and fire;
Thunder of cannon
