Haiku Friday: Memorable people



Don't ask me why, but I spent a chunk of time yesterday watching videos of Sonny Elliot, who was a TV and radio weatherman in Detroit when I was a kid. I'm not sure he knew anything about meteorology, but he put on quite a show!

We all have people in our past-- those we knew in person, or those we knew remotely-- who were truly memorable. Let's haiku about them this week!

Here, I will go first:

Warmer and rainy
"That makes it 'Wainy!'" he'd say
And then I would laugh.

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