An election haiku I’m stealing from a Salon reader:
Gullible Red States
You know not what you have done
Too bad for the rest
Steve (L.) Expounded Thusly:
Excellent! Let me try one now:
Simpleton poser
Gloating in the cool fall air
Your ass is showing
John Expounded Thusly:
Here’s my humble contribution:
Good Americans,
and also the bad, must now
find ways to unite
Steven R. Expounded Thusly:
YOU WON, GEORGE, WITH FEAR.
WHY NOT TRY TO INSPIRE?
BECAUSE IT’S HARD WORK.
JJS Expounded Thusly:
Only works if you stretch out “inspire” to two syllables, Steven. 😉
Steve (The L One) Expounded Thusly:
in-spi-re. Works for me!
Steve Expounded Thusly:
Our waiter at lunch today assured us that inspire was only two syllables, but that it is okay to make it three when using it in a poem. I checked his grammar license, and it was valid, so he must be right.
Steve Expounded Thusly:
A brilliant haiku from Steve R.’s friend, Rani (all syllables correctly used):
I think I will puke
If I have to hear you speak
About unity.
(I know she’s talking about the hypocrite Bush, NOT you, John!)
