Mayor McCheese Presents: Haiku Friday!


It's Friday, and that means the beauty of haiku is upon us once again! Here are some themes from which you may choose (or not):

1) Wendy Does Waco
2) Spencer's lunch
3) Presumptive reasonableness of sentences within the guideline range
4) What's wrong with the Baltimore Orioles
5) REO Speedwagon
6) Toxic wastes and other pollutants
7) The scene at the pool
8) Donkey Kong
9) Porn Cat

Here is my own haiku, to start things off:

Scalia's mad again!
"Not to revisit Booker..."
Here we go again!

Now, it is your turn to create the delicate Japanese art of the haiku. The first line should be 5 syllables, the second line 7 syllables, and the final line needs to be 5 syllables.

Comments:
I get to be first!
Wait, is it Friday already?
Damn margarita!
 
Really, it will be cool
We'll take our name from a car
The Cadillacs? nahh

Thunderbirds? Taken
We need something really sexy
Oldsmobile!... That ROCKS!!
 
Can't fight this feeling
Any more, That's what the bag
on the plane is for
 
Wendy need not fear.
To meet single Waco men,
visit Lover's Leap!

Seriously, a lot of dudes congregate there around lunch time. And they are very approachable, if you are shy, they approach you. Maybe bring mace, Wendy.
 
Donkey Kong Passe
just dump it in the landfill
or incinerate

Smell burning Benzene,
Vinyl Chloride...mmm...yummy
My plastic soapbox

I am off it now
Hypocrite I am, spraying
Nitrocellulose
 
Toxic waste? Just think
How many copies printed
Ridin' the storm out
 
Mayor McCheese, hmmmm....
Isn't that a trademark problem?
I won't tell McDonalds!
 
When I did PC
Moved from Austin to Waco
Lived at LL Sams

They had a pool there
It was filled with salt water
Surrounded by girls

And guys named Trip, Chip.
There was lots of skin, few clothes.
The 80s long gone.

Suddenly felt old
Thought of my daughters' future
Seven years from now

Will they be at pool
With the same high confidence
Bodies as weapons

To much to think of
Must get through ugly teen years
Parenthood - it's hard.

Leaving tomorrow.
Week in Italy for work.
Trade law not so bad.

Will not blog next week.
No haiku for the masses.
See you all soon. Ciao.
 
Mike M:

The O's of summer.
Baltimore, we feel your pain
just wait 'til . . . aww, shoot
 
Rita

A Souter dissent:
"In the beginning there was . . ."
through a looking glass
 
Peter Angelos.
Fire Davey Johnson? Insane!
Drop Jon Miller? WORSE!
 
Photographs redux
Quisp, Taupe sweaters, flaming bear
Now Mister Lego
 
Single in Waco
similar to John Milton's
Eyeless in Gaza?
 
Oriole Way's dead
Earl of Bal'mer ignored
I hate Angelos.
 
Stupid album name
Pianos and tuna fish
Lame eighties music
 
Playing Donkey Kong
Never matched the excitement
Of Taco Bueno
 
Osler's new hair rocks!
Blonde eyebrows, blue eyes re-emerge
Fan club rejoicing
 
Don't dis' Oldsmobile!
Nothing can beat Ike Turner's
Rocket Eighty-Eight
 
Osler's old hair gone
Is new hair presum'd to be
Reasonable now?


[Hair/Rita combo haiku]
 
I am back in town
Loving on my pal Osler
Name? Legler! Osgo!
 
good for the rocket
that it cannot be beaten
He IS Ike Turner
 
Last time buyer car
King of Florida freeway
it's an OLDS-mobile
 
In honor of my new employment:

Breyer's presumption.
No indy legal effect?
old words mean new things...

And as for a haiku:

My week: Rome, hot smurfs,
Rita, Swany grows old, work,
lude gingerbread men.

Love,
Matt
 
Shelton says all the
Words I did not want to hear:
Recycled chicken
 
The Wagon! At the
Icehouse! Take it on the run!
Waco rocks tonight!!

Wendy does Waco
Allusion to porn movie,
Or to the Porn Cat?

El Diablo sneaks
Up at night...scissors ready...
Time for a haircut!!

What's wrong with the O's?
Well, for one thing, they have to
Play in Baltimore.
 
Have always wondered
Osler feels up Lego Man?
Smooth touch of legos?
 
Scalia writes like
REO Speedwagon. All
Killer, no filler.
 
Discovery, done?
Light at end of the tunnel?
So close, yet so far

Not done, not really
Pre-trial done, but, oh wait!
Trial yet to come

Must still do trial
Open, direct, cross, impeach, close
Worst hoops still to jump
 
Porn Cat prowls the Park
Cruising for some Donkey Kong.
Take it on the Run!
 
Journey and Asia
And REO Speedwagon
But Styx worst of all
 
Y'all are pumped this week;
I'm on another planet,
School ending, Swiss-style,

Long lunches with wine
The last three days, AT SCHOOL! Wow.
Can't do that in US.

Porn Cat and Osler:
Wonder who cut their hair? Next
Time, try John Edwards'.
 
Wendy does Waco
Her blog is her Youniverse.
It's Blogorrhea!!!
 
Seven syllables:
"The Sexy Mrs. CL"
is a haiku dream.
 
Save enviroment!
Osler is, one recycled
picture at a time

Let go my lego
Mute yellow man screams inside
hanging head in shame
 
If I were Wendy
I would go to the Health Camp
but eat Cheerios.
 
A Luthier's turf
Represent the 503
East coast's just wet wood
 
If I were Wendy
I would go to the Health Camp
but eat Cheerios.
 
Camden Yards, Camden,
Fells Point, Little Italy
Don't knock Bal'mer Hon'
 
I am Tyd to TIED
my prolific haiku mate
knows how to have pun.

Spencer is in day
camp at the YMCA
Its fun to play at.
 
crystal waters
surrounded by wreckage
calm after par-tay
 
Seven syllables:
"The Sexy Mrs. CL"
My haiku dream girl!
 
Take it on the run
baby, I'll have a 'rita
Vertney is the man!

Rigdewood is haven
Pool cools, tires, nachos feed kids
Visit friends, gossip

New cups, not so much...
Styrofoam keeps things nice, cool
Put your floaties on!

Tennis camp over
VBS too, now we have
Violin lessons

She's over-scheduled,
Six year old wants to sleep in
Please, No camps this week!
 
Book seven sounds good
It may have info on if
Snape is a hero
