Haiku Friday: Good-bye, Joe Biden

 


On Monday, we will have a new old president, and Joe Biden will officially be de-inaugurated (which is the ceremony where he turns in his keys and laptop and then departs Washington in a hot air balloon). Biden leaves with the worst approval numbers of his entire tenure, and I'm not sure why that is, exactly. So let's haiku about him this week. Here, I will go first:

Clemency waited
Until the very last month
But then... I'll take it!

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

    A decent man, a
    true public servant but one
    term woulda been best

    Like LBJ, he’ll
    be known for great success and
    great failure. Mixed bag.

    His rep will only
    grow with time. History will
    be kinder than peers.
