Haiku Friday... At the end of summer
As I expected, Barack Obama's speech last night was outstanding. And, as I feared, Baylor football started the season with a loss (to Wake Forest, 432-13).
It is the end of summer, with all that comes with that.
Here are the haiku themes for today:
1) Labor day weekend
2) Obama's speech
3) McCain's plan
4) The Wrath of Khan
5) Rich Corinthian leather
6) Baylor football
7) Steaks
8) The first week of PC
9) Three-ring spiral notebooks
10) First bicycle
Here is mine:
The summer fading
But Texas heat redoubles,
Labor Day, melting.
Now, it is your turn--

I missed his speech. My
father in law had to watch
re-run of Get Smart.
Please Please Please Please Please
let me get home safe, soon, and
for good this time. To Stay.
I need to be in
my own house now. After five
hundred days of not.
Nazi neighbors, Goat Farm,
In-Laws, turmoil, legal bills.
Please let me go home.
Mediation in
September: Bring It. Let's go.
We're ready. Let's Roll.

Yes, Shatner stretched Khan into 5 syllables. Also, if you listen closely, Montalban got 2 syllables out of prince.

Obama invokes
Dr. King's forgotten dream,
born a worthy heir?
McCain plans to ask
Congressman Lewis' advice
yet, they are not friends!
Here in this long night,
awaiting indifferent death,
our hope, civil rights.

I fear John McCain --
More of the same will destroy
This country. Please, no!
RRL is your
Most faithful, predictable
Far-right blogger, Mark.
He LOVES McCain, just
As he still loves Bush/Cheney.
Funny, but more sad.

Grunt, Whew, Sheesh, Cough, Fart.
Sounds I hear all day. Bill's Dad.
Symphony of Old.
If there is a God,
Give me a sign. Let me
go home pretty soon.
They say we can move
in on Thursday!!!! I'll believe
it when I am in.

Forgot to mention:
Lots of Elder Food:
lime jello salad, with sour
cream, nuts carrots.
Going to Aunt Dolly's
for dinner tonight. that is
her signature dish.
There is not enough
Xanax in the world to get me
through this month. Save Me.

Labor Day Weekend:
Haven't had one in five years;
Foreign holidays--
Indian, Swiss, they're
Nice, but the year's rhythm feels
Diff'rent on their soil--
Holidays make you
Who you are; missing them makes
You someone else, for awhile.

My first bike was pink
No training wheels, only faith
that falling won't hurt
Pedal, pedal fast
Feel the warm breeze on your face
Don't foget to stop
