Haiku Friday: Inventions


Now that everyone is running around building improvised medical ventilators, it's a good time to consider the role of invention in our lives. Pictured above, for example, is a device my dad rigged up for Osler Island to convey things from the dock up to the cabin. 

It can be an informal invention, or something we all know-- go to town with it! Here, I will go first:

Nineteen seventies-
Someone actually invented
Crack cocaine. But who?

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

Comments:
Thomas Edison
Boyhood hero, still admired
Would love to create
 
Always so in awe
of people who can invent
not how my brain works
 
What is the best thing
God ever invented? Why,
grandchildren, of course!
 
Air conditioning
Political power shift
To the southern states
