Start from TUFFF... Having just been reminded of a particularly surreal haiku a friend once wrote, I've had a silly idea. Why don't we try to create a series of haikus about all the FF books? In case anyone doesn't know what a haiku is, it's a type of poem originating in Japan. Generally descriptive of nature, and usually 17 syllables long, in a 5-7-5 structure. Something like: Enter the mountain.
Wander around in the maze.
Drat! Only two keys. Anyone interested in joining me in this deranged artistic endeavour? |

From TUFFF... A series inspired by The Forest of Doom: Stonebridge lies ahead.
I only have a handle.
Go back to the start. Here's Stonebridge again.
Two handles now, still no head.
Here I go again. Third time's no better.
No head, merely three handles.
This book has some bugs. Don't get a fourth go.
Killed by rotten Wild Hill Men.
Just ran out of LUCK. |

From TUFFF... Who's scared of Abdul?
I just kicked a Cyclops balls
Again and again. Wounded? Poisoned? Scarred?
Lost an arm? Eat provisions -
Hey! Now you're just fine. Balthus Dire, I know
I should be scared and stuff, but
Your hair's pretty gay. |

I'm several years too late, but I just came up with:
Chasms of Malice.
Played it 57 times.
I should get out more.

A Paul Mason-themed quartet:
Sudden flash-forward
To long after your defeat
Puzzles some readers.
Lacking memories,
I still recognise some spells
(And a Chang whistle).
'Turn to 400.'
Normally that is good news.
Not this time, alas.
Certain he can't lose,
The mage gives me back my gun,
Lives to regret it.
