Haiku Friday, my friends. Let us celebrate with haiku. And dessert.



Tonight there were a gazillion stars out here in Alpine. For those of you weak in math, that is a million bazillion. I also saw maybe my favorite-ever report of a city council meeting in the paper today. The council apparently changed the law so that dogs were regulated as dangerous animals. The Alpine Avalanche astutely reported the action: Noting that deficiencies in the definition of a dangerous animal became apparent after Mayor Clouse was badly bitten by a neighbor's dog, Lawrence suggested that citizens wanting attention for an issue should bite the mayor.

It all puts me in the mood for some haiku. Remember, The Celebrity Luvr/Judge has promised a special prize to the winner, so put forth your best efforts. Multiple posts are allowed, as is cross-blogging, and androgyny, if you can work that into a haiku form.

Here are some suggested topics for the week, though you have complete artistic freedom:

1) Dogs
2) That horrible nickname
3) Words that sound like cursing but aren't
4) haircuts
5) Victor Borge
6) Kim Mulkey
7) Springtime
8) Pants made of ham
9) Nicole Ritchie

Here is mine for the week:

Come out here to see
I think you will like this place,
Not really nowhere.

Comments:
Pants made of fine ham
While attractive at first glance
Would start to smell soon

Billing lots of hours
Makes partners happy and rich
Wife not so happy
 
No net in new house
But I must Razor haiku
Jerry rig poem
 
McKinney, suffer
Much you do, without email
Use the force, you must.
 
Kim Mulkey's pants are
Serrano, Prosciutto ham
well-packéd they are.
 
Ausfahrt, Dammen, Hell
Funftig, fuchsig, moglich, Schluss
All sounds like cursing.

Swiss German: guttural;
Don't want to make those sounds, but
What else can I do?
 
I bet the Swiss would
Make the best pants out of ham;
Food and skill they have.
 
Who knew that ham pants
Would out post Nicole Ritchie,
Who should eat more ham
 
Nicole C. Richie
Lionel always made sure she
had The Simple Life.
 
My golden handcuffs
Make wife smile; me not so much
Will it ever end?
 
great dane rules the pub
beer-lapping allocution
answers to "Caesar"

-B
 
Kudos to Misty and the Medievalist: nice haiku! CL
 
Spencer, Age 3, said,
as he finished eating lunch:
"Okay, we're done here."

That kid can be a
challenge, but he is funny.
Where does he get it?

Naked cabinets, bare floors,
you mock me. House is my foe
but I shall triumph.
 
Countdown: Toddler Birthday
party: T minus 7
days. Refill Xanax.
 
Poor law student here
I can't swing name brand ham pants
I'm wearing spam pants
 
Dear Poor Law Student:
Do Well, Study Hard, Pass Bar
Boar's Head in Future
 
I miss him for you
Bright eyes, waggle, chase and fetch
We all have our place

In some other's life
Known or unknown: we matter
Animals know this
 
My kid said Dammit
Then -- not nice, I sorry. Shoot.
We live in Texas.
 
King of the Castle
Soon I may shoot those who dare
enter home or car.

The reason being
'Retreat does not sound very
Texan to myself'

Dirty moot court case.
Kids, free speach, and meth addict
Moot Hilarity.
 
Moot court waste of time.
Nothing like daily practice.
Why not moot motions

For useful things like
Summary judgment; PI.
Motion practice key.
 
Just because it's a suggestion...

Ode to Eric Rhine:

Good ol’ Beaumont roots
Mom and girlfriend have same name
Serious Texas fan
 
Disclaimer:

While technically, serious has three syllables, indicating Duesler's Haiku has the wrong number in the last line, if you come from Beaumont, "serious" is two syllables.

ERhine
 
I don't want to play
Though I need extra moot points
I'll just Puckett up
 
Arguments, Motions
Discovery battles, depos
That is litigation
 
Delbert, you Mo-ron!
You gotta mumble something
Have fun in prison!
 
This week: a train wreck
Wishing for a Mulligan
Too bad not Clinton
 
Had a bad lawyer
Who said not to say a word
Now I sit in jail

ERhine/Delbert
 
Imprisoned Rhine,
We will mail you your degree
Post it in your cell.
 
Dog at large--Guilty.
Man asks: Who's on probation?
Am I or the dog?
 
Mullett, mohawk, buzz
Osler's hair now shorn, new 'do
Because you're worth it
 
Don't attack, Giant Serr!
Some things are more important
Than hugging crim'nals
 
who are eric rhine and delbert?????
 
Basically, Eric Rhine is Delbert the Meth Addicted Crazy Misdemeanor Guy.
 
Anon--

Eric Rhine is a student at Baylor Law School. He is not crazy, addicted to meth, or a misdemeanant, but portrayed one quite convincingly in class.
 
My Haiku always
