Haiku Friday: The Candidates!
I am really enjoying the election roll-out, as presidential candidates announce their campaigns. This week, Rick Perry, pictured here, announced that he is in for another go-round. Is it just me, or has he gotten a lot smarter since he started wearing those thick glasses?
Anyways, here are the candidates (or at least some of them):
John Kasich
Rick Perry
Hillary Clinton
"Nature Boy" Ric Flair
Rand Paul
Mike Huckabee
Tonya Harding
Lincoln Chafee
Ted Cruz
Jeb Bush (declaring mid-month)
Jim Webb
Keith Richards
George Patacki
Lindsey Graham
Bernie Sanders
Patrick Starfish
Ben Carson
Carly Fiorina
Rick Santorum
Martin O'Malley
Rink Allegro
Bobby Jindal
Chris Christie
Marco Rubio

Let's haiku about (any one of) them this week! Here, I will go first:
What a group this is!
Only one makes sense to me...
Go, IPLawGuy!
Now it is your turn! Just use five syllables in the first line, seven in the second, and five in the third, and have some fun!

Dares to brave tiny
Emperors arrayed in their
Designer birthday
Suits who think it right
To own all the gems while
We tread rough water.

Go, Tonya Harding!
You'll carry the Portland vote.
Watch out, Hillary.
(Just kidding, y'all. I watched ESPN's "30-for-30" documentary on the Tonya Harding drama last night, so it's fresh in my mind.)

I have taken Gail Collins Op Ed from yesterday's NY Times and turned it into a multi-candidate Haiku. So tempting and practically wrote itself.
