Halloween Haiku Extravaganza
First off, Lane's comment to yesterday's post ("Don't blame me, I voted for Argbf") made me snarf. Good one.
The picture above is the most halloween-y one I could find. It depicts, of course, Swanburg's Mom on stage with Meatloaf. (Her description of that relationship, by the way, was one of my favorite moments here).
So, here are the topics for this week's haiku:
1) Halloween memories
2) Best halloween costumes
3) The Phillies!
4) Grar v. Argbf
5) That other election
6) The states of Florida and North Carolina
7) Woodley Park
8) Finals!
9) The Serr-a-thon
10) Cabbage Patch Kids
Best costume ever:
Giant Snoopy costume, white
1972.
Now, it is your turn...

I live in both states
Swing State status follows me
Where should I move next?
Which state needs my vote?
Florida is still my home
I vote absentee
I don't get NC
They let you register and
vote on the same day
Early voting lines
in both states are very long
Is it a good sign?
~*~*~*~
I dressed as a clown
I was a clown every year
The costume still fits
Maybe this year, I
can dress as an Obama
Mama supporter

My neighbors golden
just stole a bag of cat treats
now that's a real trick
lucky he doesn't
live in Woodley Park, or he
might prefer panda

Happy Halloween
This year I want to be green
I need a good broom

Barnes school champ one year
Miss Schmid liked my clown costume
Mr. King didn't

Folks complain too much
about the Serr-a-thon, man,
I thought it was tight
You can't rush the man
Just chill, think, and let Papa
Bear do his damn thing!

Halloween voting:
Do Costumed votes violate
the Election Code?
SOS Office
Will not answer the query,
I will go as Spock.

1992:
I was Barbara Bush. HA!
White wig, blue dress, pearls.
Best was 8th grade with
my pal Nancy Lowichik
She's a car. Me? Boat.
Costumes were HUGE and
cardboard. We spent hours making
them. Really fun year.
One year I was a
tea bag. Stupid. No one knew
what I was. I did.
Spencer is going
as a fireman this year.
He glows in the dark.
Having the Dylan
Moms over. Two moms, two kids.
HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!!

Saw the Phillies lose
to my sad Nationals once
maybe twice this year
Space alien guy,
Biker guy - leather jacket
Nothing memorable
Main rule for costumes:
Do not restrict arm movement
Need to hold beer glass

Me too, TallTenor
About NC . . . although I'm
Sometimes nostalgic.
**********
Woodley Park's full of
Costumed younger folks, going
To Adams-Morgan
Where the Halloween
Action is. Saw it tonight,
But no pandas. Only
A neighbor guy, in
My elevator, dressed as
A yellow rooster.

I must have bought at
least thirty pounds of candy.
We ran out at 8:00PM!!!!!!
Dylan Moms had fun,
were fun! Kids were just BONKERS!
Off the wall crazy.
They liked my soup!! Made
Butternut Squash soup. Garlic,
white wine, onion, thyme....
Spencer was fireman,
Dylan: Power Ranger, and
Alex was Piglet.
Mediation is
soon. Hopefully an ending.
SO GREAT to be HOME!!!!!
Ever have a bad
scary year and then look back?
Don't know how I made it.
Had help from friends who
are lawyers and lawyers who
have become friends.
Would pay them triple if I could.
