Super Pre-Commencement Haiku Friday Spectacular!


It's the edge of a new world for a new crop of Baylor grads-- congratulations!

But first, shall we haiku? Here are this week's topics:

1) Commencements
2) Melissa Essary
3) IPLawGuy's role in John McCain's victory
4) Larry Bates: Should he be handcuffed?
5) Miss Newark (Pictured above)
6) Should our nation's youth learn Javascript?
7) Bad cars
8) France
9) Pikachu
10) Stephen Baker's muppet costume

Here is mine:

Baker as muppet
Quite the ideal look for him
Must give him cookies!

Now it is your turn. Use the traditional 5/7/5 syllable format, please...

Comments:
Which muppet, Baker?
Certain Swedish tendencies
But mostly Fozzy
 
Iplaw to McCain
is like Lee Atwater to
George Bush 41.

SO Iplaw: what do
you like as far as Cabinet
job you want to get?

Secretary of
the Department of Kegs and
Big Yellow Hat Guys?

House is gone. Not Sad.
Rebuilding starts in one month.
Foundation is FINE!!!!

Now just getting all
ready for Mediation
with Batman, Robin.

I call my lawyers
Batman and Robin because
they fight mean phone co.

Bill is just about
mortified that I call them
that and they know it.

Planning Spencer's big
birthday bash. He loves Spike the
Iguana at school

Must have reptile theme.
Found place that brings reptiles to
house and shows to kids.

Too Scary? Maybe,
but you only turn four once.
Need to make snake cake.

That should be fun. Last
year had party off site due
to house remodel.

This year party at
goat farm due to house reBUILD.
Maybe invite Habib.
 
Vega, Pinto and
Pacer, Fairmont and Yugo,
Crying on my keys.
 
On Miss Newark:

Kisses spring forth now
the bakery behind
Mmmmm... nice buns, Newark!
 
Went to Angola
Starving children, raw sewage.
It is disturbing.

On my way back home
Met up with a parasite
Straight to hospital.

Yes, now I am back.
On internet and the blogs.
Good ol' U.S.A.
 
My Plymouth Cricket
Lost linkage between engine-
gas pedal on Beltway

Trading in Audi
lowball trade Eleven K
CarMax even worse!

Frame Damage??!!! When?
I guess that drunk who hit me
In 03 did it.
 
I love Bob Dylan
Some covers are better, like
Quinn The Eskimo
 
I met Atwater
Pre-Bush 41 campaign
He had crazy eyes.
 
Chevrolet Venture.
Giant pile of you-know-what
Why did we buy it?

Oh yeah. Big discount.
Brother-in-law at GM
Bought it dealer cost.

Got what we paid for.
Worse than my first car - Rabbit,
don't get me started.
 
Beauty queen riding,
Glue-on smile of red wax lips,
Why am I waving?
 
Love Prof. Essary
Hated torts against kids, yelled:
"SAVE THE BABIES YA'LL!"
 
Misty still rules
I remember her yelling
Essary laughed
 
Will Baker announce
As he walks across the stage
"gbor, gbor, bor?"
 
Worst car ever was
79 Malibu
Station Wagon. Ugh.

Iplaw trades in the
Audi...the question now is
Whatcha gonna get?

I think with Baby
Bird Johnson on the way you
need HUGE Minivan.

Warning: there are no
convertible minivans.
Believe me, I checked.

Mamie Eisenhow'r
and Baby Bird Johnson need
van with DVD.

Strap 'em in, slip in
Dora DVD and its
like: "Kids? What kids?"

Sports car Audi was
fun, but new phase now for you:
Iplaw, Nerdy Dad.
 
Of course, If McCain wins, Iplaw you will not need a car... You will probably just get a driver. Maybe that guy who was driving the station wagon is not busy and he could be your driver.
 
The key here is that, as all of her students remember, Essary pronounced "duty" like "doo-dee"...if you catch my drift

Essary's "duty"
Once counted up the total
She said it a lot!!!

"There is a duty
under the law!!" Well, someone
better clean it up!!!
 
PikaPika . . .Chu
PikaPikapiiiiiiiiiiiika. Chu.
Pika Chuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu. Pika Pi.
 
Invigilation
What they call "proctoring" here
Stuck for two hours with

My thoughts, and six kids:
Harnessed energy, nerves, and
Wanting lunch, not math.
