Haiku Friday. Unload my burden...



I'd like to thank my favorite person in all of Austin, former BLSer Flo Rueda, for this photo, which sums up pretty much how I feel at the end of a week of minitrials. Ugh. I'm a-gonna-die.

Fortunately, Haiku Friday is here. Dr. Kristen Simpson suggested a theme, which is fortune cookie fortunes. She described two that she has received recently:

(1) Your judgment is a little off at this time
(2) He loves you as much as he can but that is not very much


Nice! I would also suggest the following themes, none of them mandatory:

1) Justice Sandra Day Unconscious
2) When a thong was a shoe
3) What it will be like if Osler goes over the deep end during minitrials
4) U.S. News and World Report Law School Rankings
5) Moot court
6) If Chicago came to school in swim trunks
7) Things you never want to see a professor do.

Here is mine:

Maybe next time, friend,
You should perhaps not (in trial)
Use the word "Pooping."

Comments:
Law school rankings are
Mostly for the birds I think,
Bye, bye, Baylor law.
 
Brief won't write itself
seventeen years out of school
Still stay up too late
 
"Pooping" has its charm
But it is much funnier
Saying "poo," I think.

*****

I don't really think
Osler will lose it unless
Real guns come to school

*****

No reason to ask
What if; judging from today's
Bad weather, he did.

*****

Moot court is chipping
Away at my coping skills
God, please don't let's break.

*****

Retired, he may be
But I never want to see
Trail in his swim trunks

He was my fav'rite
But I feel sure that more than
Bad weather follows.
 
Here's one I stole from the Capitol Punishment blog... Its a blog about baseball, specifically the Washington Nationals. But it also has haikus about all the teams' prospects for '07. This is the one for the Detroit Tigers:

Pitchers' errant throws
like big thorn in tiger paw
pulled out with pine tar
 
Raise law-school rankings:
Send the Razor on the road
Enough for a show;

SNL, watch out.
Maybe PC, too--sounds nuts;
Judge Judy's no match.

Professors' no-no:
Purple bike shorts worn to class,
or swim trunks, of course.
 
I want to sell beads
On a beach in Mexico
Or be a tour guide
 
Spilt coffee on desk
Seeping into files and notes
Good thing they absorb
 
Kiss me, Dean Toben!
Your rankings drive me so wild;
Can I touch your 'stache?
 
I have nothing much
to say. Countertops will come
today. Hip Hooray.

Granite color called
"Blue Butterfly." Blue, green, red spots. Kitchen back soon.

Tomorrow is the
big birthday bash for Spencer.
Thirteen three year olds.

Last week I got called
Spencer's "Grandma," then next day, I was carded. Hmmm.

blah blah blah blah blah....
My life must be dull sounding.
I bore attorneys.

House remodel goes
on. Paint, back splash, tile floors in two rooms. Pinch me.

Today I thought about
Tim Joranko, a lawyer
I knew. Died too young.

Was SOOOOOOO smart...went to
Harvard Law. He was my camp counselor. Good Friend.

He always said, "Make
the most of your life. It is short." He was awesome.
 
the stupid computer made my haiku get messed up.
Oh well.
 
Mr. Tim Joranko
Told young Tyd that "Life is short"
Then he proved it.
 
Flooding so badly
Where is your precious law now?
Floated all away
 
A lenten mistake
Giving up smokin' & such
Next year, give up gum.
 
paper note inside
16 types of deadly ink
that wasn't chicken.
 
My dad got one once--
"You are strong in opinion,
And always wrong." Ouch.
 
Don't swing in anger
Likely to hit a lawyer
Expensive outburst
 
"What it will be like if Osler goes over the deep end during minitrials." I've seen it firsthand, and it ain't pretty.
 
Practice Court references
Dark, angry and resentful
Switch to teaching torts?
 
Well, I would rather teach torts than commit them!

And I'm not really going to go off the deep end.
 
I would rather BAKE torts.

If I could do it in my crock pot.
 
What? Sirens blaring?
Tornadoes, hail stones, flash floods,
Panic in the streets!

End of MT 3,
When announcements come: Run! Hide!
Screw this; going home.

Pressure changes, ow;
But more worried 'bout Stewie
Pressure hurts birdies
 
pretty, pretty gun
not properly secured
Osler enflamed
 
RG--

It was certainly a dramatic ending to the minitrial. I think the defendant escaped in the mayhem.
 
Run, students, run fast!
Here comes the Brazos, rising--
Good-bye, library wing!
 
Rain, sirens and wind,
A primevil flood doth cometh,
The basement is safe.

Sandra Day does not
Love me like she should because
The thong snapped back.

Osler in de nile,
Water up to his ear lobes,
His hair is on fire.
 
This news story from CNN found via the Yahoo website kind of looks like a Practice Court scenario....

Countertops are in!!!!!!
Step 2: Birthday Bash
Step 3: In Laws go.

Need frozen Mango
drink. Red Robin, too bad your
food sucks. Girl Drink Drunk.

"Pooping" not so bad. Yesterday during an interview the word CROTCH appeared. I left there thinking... "Well of COURSE they will hire me for that one...." Incidentally I did not bring it up.
 
Tyd-- What company talks about something involving a "crotch" during an interview? I'm pretty sure that is a violation of Canadian law (Oregon is in Canada, right?)
 
He keeps standing up
And yelling about hearsay;
He poops objections.
 
We have just read the haiku with our son
Tim's name in it-we would really
like to know who Tydbleach is nd how we can reach
him
Frank and Joyce Joranko
