"Look, if you haiku one shot, one opportunity... here I go, it's my shot, feet fail me not."
[Note: Video added for the Haiku Nazi listed in the comments.]
Not all moments are equal.
This week the Big Shots-- the ex-presidents, the famous authors, the tv people-- will be speaking at the Celebration of the New Baptist Covenant to many, many more people than I will, but I am going to make the most of that moment that I have, because I really believe in what I have to say.
So, in haiku form, I need your advice.
1) What should I wear?
2) Do I need a haircut?
3) Should I point in the air a lot?
4) What should my psyche-up music be?
5) Will it all matter?
6) What Would Bates Do? (WWBD)
7) If I meet John Grisham, will he want to talk about law stuff?
8) Is there anything you did in your big trial I should try to adopt?
9) How about that 5 OT Baylor win?
10) OMG! It's almost finals!
Here is mine:
American Idiot
Bad choice for psyche-up music
Better with The Jam.
Now, it is your turn! You don't have to follow my dopey self-centered suggestions-- write about whatever you want. Just make it 5 syllables/7 syllables/5 syllables.

Barney's Psych-up mix
Nothing gets the blood pumping
like "Shot to the Heart!..."

Grisham'd talk about
Baseball, or Baylor's OT
Win. He's a sports fan.
(I only know this because he lives in Charlottesville and I think he bought a baseball field or put lots of money into sponsoring a little-league team.)

Eye of the Tiger--
Best psych-up music there is!
See lyrics below!
EYE OF THE TIGER
Risin' up, back on the street
Did my time, took my chances
Went the distance, now I'm back on my feet
Just a man and his will to survive
So many times, it happens too fast
You change your passion for glory
Don't lose your grip on the dreams of the past
You must fight just to keep them alive
Chorus:
It's the eye of the tiger, it's the cream of the fight
Risin' up to the challenge of our rival
And the last known survivor stalks his prey in the night
And he's watchin' us all in the eye of the tiger
Face to face, out in the heat
Hangin' tough, stayin' hungry
They stack the odds 'til we take to the street
For we kill with the skill to survive
chorus
Risin' up, straight to the top
Have the guts, got the glory
Went the distance, now I'm not gonna stop
Just a man and his will to survive
chorus
The eye of the tiger (repeats out)...

Haiku Nazi--
You're right. I think Practice Court has addled my brain. Hey, I found this video of you and added it to the post.

Don't change your hair for
us, Not if you care for us.
Get a Bill Bonds rug.
Dog is a trooper,
hops on three legs. Doing great!
House comes down Tuesday.
Eye of the Tiger
Hmmm. Very Seventies-ish.
Not good Osler song.
Just sing that one hymn
you said you liked. We all get
psyched differently.
I prefer disco.
Or Otis Redding's "Try a
Little Tenderness."
Otis starts out slow
but you are very psyched up
by the end of it.
"Start me up," "Beast of
Burden." JUST TRY to stay in
bad mood with "Some Girls."
Pure Prarie League...I
am into the Seventies.
So "Get Down on it."
Or even better ever heard that one song called "Cry to Me?" Its GREAT. Cannot remember artist OR even better, Ray Charles..."What I'd Say..." now THAT song will psyche you up. Better yet just go rent the Blues Brothers, put on your sunglasses and remember not to lie to The Penguin.

What I'd Say. Ray Charles.
Hey mama, don't you treat me wrong
Come and love your daddy all night long
All right now, hey hey, all right
See the girl with the diamond ring
She knows how to shake that thing
All right now now now, hey hey, hey hey
Tell your mama, tell your pa
I'm gonna send you back to Arkansas
Oh yes, ma'm, you don't do right, don't do right
Aw, play it
When you see me in misery
Come on baby, see about me
Now yeah, all right, all right, aw play it,
When you see me in misery
Come on baby, see about me
Now yeah, hey hey, all right
See the girl with the red dress on
She can do the Birdland all night long
Yeah yeah, what'd I say, all right
