It's Haiku Flibberdijibbit!


Welcome back! I haiku-- do you? If so, this is the place, and here are this week's themes:

1) IPLawEnemy
2) The Return of Kris Fahrenthog
3) Crikey's! Everyone is going crazy on Swanbug's blog!
4) Summer in Texas
5) Things to do in Switzerland if you are drunk
6) Sentencing Guidelines!
7) Fire
8) My fantasy t-shirt
9) Aggies and their "problem"
10) "I heart ____."

Here is mine:

Quick, call 911!
They have removed the air
And locked the doors!

(This refers to a Baylor email of this week announcing that "This afternoon there will be no air and the doors will be locked." It was unclear why this was desirable)

For yours, make sure it is 5 syllables/7 syllables/5 syllables...

Comments:
I laugh when they say
"Full and upright position..."
Oh, the airplane seat?
 
Great Swiss Stone Lion
He cries--the stone holds no beer
Hail Helvetica!
 
12:10 morning time
I'm still not the first to post?
Osler is Famous




Don't laugh at me, Man
My Sci fi t shirt is cool
Han, in fact, Shot First
 
Drunk in Switzerland?
Bungee jump in Locarno!
Be just like James Bond.
 
Seen that bungee jump:
From a dam, valley WAY down;
Only Bond can do it.

Swiss drinking's an art;
Cafe life, time winds slowly,
Afternoon merlot

Or beers and bratwurst,
Standing at a high table,
Staple of Swiss life;

Drunk's for the young, on
The last train, sloshing home, or
Expats, looking for

A common language,
A third home; too easy, but
Real language takes time.
 
Obviously Not
A Fan of Russia Or Bond
Dam was Archangel's
 
No air and locked doors!!
Claustrophobic's nightmare scene--Baylor masochists?

Must be a movie
In there: "Escape from Law School:
Baylor, Part One"
 
If I made a shirt
It would have cheese puffalumps
And bunny zombies

When in Switzerland,
Leave and go to Amsterdam
Hammered? Get stoned.

Not a bad person
Amsterdam has lots of rocks!
And also hookers...
 
Haikus can be fun,
but sometimes they dont make sense
Refrigerator.

(I saw this on a t-shirt but I wish I had made it up).
 
Swanburg's blog gone nuts
Some want jobs handed to them
Takes work to get work

Easy to blame Kat
Much harder to go find work
Don't bitch; make a pitch

If can't sell yourself
How will you be rainmaker
Please be dynamic
 
Sweat soaks my body,
Summer in Waco fries brain,
One hundred ten in shade.
 
when co-clerks compete
for scarce legal employment
bluebooks make big fire
 
In Switzerland, drunk
Hop on over to Norway,
For some death metal

The "Aggie Problem"
The sheep are all scared, women
Are lonely, unloved
 
Oh Guidelines, I do
reach for thy handbook each day,
but just to make sure.

I check my numbers,
and argue with you, handbook.
Guidelines: friend or foe?
 
Coke, Crack, Happy Dust
California Cornflakes
Peruvian Flake

Judge, it's all the same
Send me to the pokey now
Just not for too long

I have things to do
Plenty of work on outside
Crystal meth pays big
 
Wrong, not just for Bond,
I have mastered that Bungee,
I was quite hammered.
 
Swaths of soft cotton
Delightful simplicity
Reads "I heart Puckett"
 
osler you have weird
Beaker fixation and I
worry about you.

Spencer says "I'll be
RIGHT back Mommy." Comes back with
grape juice box for me.

That's why Spencer is
my turtle. Soft in middle
with hard candy shell.

Bill gone all day to
work in fellow luthier's
shop. Spencer with me.

Loud washer you mock
me. How dare you? Wake my son,
make dog go insane.

New used car smells like
baby powder - yuck. Have new
arsenal of scents.

Choose between: "Fresh breeze"
"Clean Air" "Berry Bliss" I took
Mandarin Orange.

Oh Mighty Orange!
Kill the diaper smell in my
new used Toyota!!!!!

Not fooling around now.
Got LIQUID kind... TWO BOTTLES!!
Gonna pour em in!!!

But its Go Time. Must
deReek the car. Powder, you
are no match for me.

Life here in Portland-
Wilsonville - it is not for
the weak of spirit.
 
Iplaw has some kind
of ENEMY? This I can't
fathom. Such nice guy.

No Fashion Sense, though.
Big yellow hat is just SO
VERY last season.

Does Mamie know of
her father's past bad fashion
transgressions? Doubt it.
 
Oh and Iplaw: that
Kicks are for Trids joke - Uhmm no.
Its too long a walk.

me think Trids are your
nemesis. I know Donut
is scared of them. BOO!
 
MM:

Texas summertime
chlorine in pool plus sunshine
colors my hair "FUN!"
 
Panic in the streets!
PC, bar, employment: woe!
Students panic, fight

Angry commenters
Use ad hominem attacks
Please, calm down, people
 
Hot, sweaty, humid?
Waco Texas, hot as hell?
Drink Margaritas!

My Ode to the pool
Summer, laziness, cooling
long, glorious days

Highdive, bellyflop
Jackknife, cannonball, swandive
or just float around...

SPF 45
Still working on the base tan
Peak tanning hours!

Burgers, hot dogs and
Frosty cold drinks, tired kiddos
Light'ning bugs, cool sheets

Sleep tight, sleep late and
Don't scratch that mosquito bite!
Tomorrow? Repeat!

Oh I love summer!
Not enough hours in day
September, too soon.
 
Wednesday's thunderstorm
Killed my power for two days...
No power, no shower: Pew!

We depend so much
On something we do not see:
Electricity.
 
Hot asphalt burns mind,
My auto tries to broast me,
Where is October?
 
Gasping, it seizes
Expanding as it bellows
Skeletal cinders

building, rebuilding
All seems too familiar
Sisyphus guitars

The smell of cotton
Skies swirling in dark rust red
Texas barbeque
 
No enemies here
Not even a nemesis
Slow drivers maybe
