Haiku Friday: Senators!


The Senate has been in the news a lot (maybe not as much as The Mooch, but quite a bit at least...). I find the Senate fascinating, both as an institution and as a somewhat bizarre collection of individuals. I never worked there, but wish that I had. IPLawGuy did, though-- that is him in the picture on the right, with a young(er) John McCain on the left and (I think) Freddy Mercury in the middle. God knows what those three were talking about.

So let's haiku about Senators this week-- past, present, or future. You can even name-check members of the old baseball team if you want.  There really are plenty of good choices. Here, I will go first:

Mr. Lindsey Graham
Smashing up his 'lil cell phone
Now that was an ad!

Now it is your turn! Just use the 5/7/5 syllable pattern and have some fun...

Barack Obama
Once described himself this way:
"Ruthless pragmatist."

I love that! Love the
notion of getting things done.
I miss competence.
