Haiku Friday: Welcome, IPLawSmurf!


It's wonderful to welcome a new character to the blog, one who showed up out of the blue (so to speak) yesterday. Welcome to IPLawSmurf!

I can only assume that this guy is working as a low-paid associate to IPLawGuy at his large law firm. This much we can assume: He is blue, he cares deeply about intellectual property, and he has found his way over to the Razor.

So, let's welcome IPLawSmurf in Haiku! Feel free to offer advice about the Razor, modern America, or just about anything else. I would suggest using the first line of "Hey, IPLawSmurf!" Here is mine:

Hey, IPLawSmurf!
It's good times at the Razor,
Now there's two Christines...

Go ahead and make your own-- just make sure it is more or less 5 syllables for the first line, 7 for the second, and 5 for the third. As usual, the prize will be your bio here on Monday....

Comments:
Hey IPLawSmurf-
A brief warning: RRL
Might be Gargamel
 
Rangers. Rangers. The
Texas Rangers. Rangers. The
Texas Rangers Rule.

Lovely Bones:
I am a nice guy. Promise.
Not a Gargamel.
 
Hey there RRL
I sort of like Garagamel
In a twisted way.
 
Blue though you may be,
Not so here at the Razor!
New Christine feels free...

Characters abound.
"Box" humor may make you smile.
Enjoy, stay awhile...

Share thoughts and passions
and expect a "jab" or two.
While all embrace you...
 
Hey, IPLawSmurf!
It's hard to stay feeling blue,
with this quirky gang!
 
Hey, IPLawSmurf!
Watch out for the infringers
Like IPSlawSmurf!
 
Hey IPLawSmurf!
I have one question for you:
Why do you hate golf?
 
Hey IPLawSmurf:
Careful! You are treading on Dangerous turf.

Bob
 
Ooops -- my computer glitched!
Let me re-format that last haiku:

Hey IPLawSmurf:
Careful! You are treading on
Some dangerous turf!

Bob
 
Ha! It took a minute, but then I got it Bob... "turf." I like it.
 
Hey Ich P Law Smurf
Was genau sind Sie wütend?
Ik haat de Golf!
 
I go away to
Lafayette and all hell
breaks loose on Razor
 
Are smurfs actually
Demon spawn of Blue Meanies;
Yellow submarine?

Anyhow, sorry I missed yesterday's debate. Here's what I think motivates many of thethe OWS people and their sympathizers-- the obscene amount of money bankers/investment types/ money managers, etc. make and the fact that so few seem to have been penalized or harmed by the recession.

The wealth gap is this country is growing and its scary.... but what to do? We can't legislate lower compensation and even if we figured out a way to raise taxes (which is NOT happening) on "the rich" (however you define "the rich"), this still does not solve the problem.

What the heck does anyone, really ANYONE deserve to make 50M a year in compsation? Or even 5M a year? The money these people pay themselves is obscene.

And the crazy thing is, a lot of Tea Party people would agree with that.

OK, resume Haiku-ing.
 
Hey, IPLawGuy!
While you were away, guess what?
I bought you new cats!
 
I named this one Sweet Pee. You'll find out why when you get home!

ps. I really look forward to working with you.

pss. Where do you keep your boxes?
 
IPLAWSMURF Do You
have a flamethrower? Lowe's (a registered name) is out.
 
WHo is IPLAWSMURF'S Assistant? ISLAWSMURF?
 
Lovely Bones,

If Gargamel "...found his way to the Razor," could he be turned to ensure IPLawSmurf's well being?
 
Mark,
Just a thought. If Gargamel will not come to the Razor willingly, we could build a "Box" trap.

As you won't give up your box, are your rental rates reasonable?
 
New Christine,
hmmmm, good question. we might have to have IPLawSmurf write up a decree that we would make Gargamel sign, guaranteeing general Smurf safety.

And I think a box trap is an excellent contingency plan.
 
Hey, IPLawSmurf!
that you I saw with Smurfette?
Refrigerator!
 
Hey IPlawsmurf
I have not the slightest clue
What Gargamel is
 
Oh my! Jessica,
Gargamel is to be feared
But we are safe here.
 
Hey IPLawSmurf
Where is Renee!
She's best at making syllables count.
 
Hey IPLawSmurf -
yellow box, red bow - Kapow!!
heehee, Jokey Smurf.
 
Hey IPLawSmurf,
Preponderance of blue shapes
Topp't with toothpaste hats.

Identical hats
Worn daily...blue ennui.
A right to sing Blues.
