Haikus written during arduous thermal physics lectures

These haikus were written by me during particularly grueling lectures in thermal and statistical physics. Some things you need to know for full enjoyment:

1. My friend Carolyne Pickler is in geophysics, and hence learns about rocks.
2. My "professor" (actually a post-doc) is named Vasile Topor Pop (no joke) and his grasp of the English language is truly breathtaking to behold. Thus, whenever you read something that makes very little sense, it is simply me assuming the role of this wonder of a man. My favorite nuance of his speech is how he subtly replaces adjectives, e.g. "scared" by "scary." He also has a snazzy pair of Reeboks.
3. One of the guys in the class always drinks three apple juice boxes, then lines them up in single file.

Without further ado, in chronological order (watch my technique stagnate!):

Writing a haiku
Is fun when class really sucks
Teach me about rocks

Carolyne goes nuts
Screaming about geophysics
Put the granite down!

Don't be scary now
I recall you so clearly
You forget my trick

My name is Topor
I own petrol jelly brand
Try my Vasile-line!

Fuck U F G H
There is no time to end this
Someone stop this class

Be my state value
Partially derivate you
OK, you are solved

I will take P naught
Sounds like a yummy legume
Damn I am hungry

It's that time again
My brain softly weeps and weeps
Fun thermal with Pop

There's something about him
He resembles a patate
Taters on my mind

Ka-tie? Where is she?
Oh, I see, you mean kT
Teaching on his knees

He writes on the board
Says "I am interesting"
I beg to differ

P mix V mix "egual"
What is that squiggle symbol?
You slay me, Topor

What do you hide, Pop?
No protection from Reebok
Advertising cash?

Sooooooblimation time
Let's talk about phase, baby
Thermal is so hot

Calls you to love box
Get ready for some action
Stout, stubbly loving

No time for haiku
So much learning to do
Withstanding torture

Carolyne, teach me
About rocks, especially
Feldspathic wackle

Conglogerating
Take the demoninator
Characterisize

Never has physics
Seen a man quite like Topor
I hope he leaves soon

I love my Rougemont
Yummy yummy apple juice
Only drink in threes
