Haiku Friday and the end of July


It's been a a day of tumult, much of which I don't know much about. Baylor President John Lilley was fired, meaning that as of August 1, the school not only won't have a president or provost, but apparently will not even have an interim president or interim provost. I'm in Detroit without much information, so I can't really guess what is going on.

But still, art always thrives in times of tumult, so it is a good time to haiku. Here are some topics:

1) Obama in Europe
2) Obama in Iraq
3) McCain in... uh, wherever he went this week.
4) Port wine
5) Chardonnay
6) Driving trips
7) I-35
8) A driving trip on I-35 with Chardonnay and McCain
9) Hasselhoff!
10) Krusty the Klown

Here is mine:

A bone dry chablis
(Not the horrid stuff in jugs)
Like a sharp steel blade.

Now, it is your turn...

Comments:
university
hijacked interim nothing
WTF, regents?
 
Cold white wine in glass,
The shade of this old oak cools,
Mind starts to relax.
 
waves of heat shimmer
rising off the hot asphalt
John, let's stop for wine
 
Rowdy John for Prez!
We slow down the big Hummer
To toss the empties.
 
I am riding 'round
John McCain and Chardonnay
and Krusty the Klown
 
I-10 with McCain
Phoenix, 1985
In his Pontiac

I-395
Virginia in '86
He drove, I took notes

He spoke yesterday
in Ohio, a key state
Real voters live there.
 
John Lilley did a
Good job of alienating
Everyone in Waco!

Harold Cunningham
Arthur Anderson CPA
"Acting President"

What's next for Baylor?
A President from Enron?
Baylor needs leaders!
 
Media bias?
We're not biased for Barak,
We just like him more.

You know, you would too,
If you were not so stupid.
You fly-over states!
 
Adios Lilley
Endowment a billion short
Cue Toben'ator
 
Which job is harder
to keep: Baylor president
or head football coach?
 
Watched news yesterday,
as facts were distributed,
needed chardonnay

Colorado's not
as worthy of coverage,
stop whining, McCain

How much would I give
for a lengthy trip away
from the Texas heat
 
Osler would make a
good new Pres of Baylor U.
Need better hair though.

Not that Osler has
bad hair. Just bad hair days. It's
better than no hair.

Rocks are on house now.
Floors going in today. Then
paint on the outside.

We are homeless in
one week, but I don't care cuz
it's BUH BYE to goat. Baaaah.

Motel 6 here we
come. Hey: pool, laundry, TV,
dog welcome - Not Bad.

Better than In Laws.
They are so nice, but they drive
us all too crazy.

Sorry to hear Baylor in turmoil.
 
President Osler?
It has a nice ring to it.
Count on my vote, boys!

It makes a lot more
Sense than expanding the number
Of Regents any day.

RFDIII
 
Chardonnay, chablis
Pinot grigio: dry cold
Fruity white season

Sneaks up; suddenly,
It's as if red never was,
Merlot memories.
 
tawny or ruby
a little ghirardelli
lovely friday night
