Tuesday haiku to bother and occupy search engines by random references to dishonest politicians and people strapped to car roofs and sorrow at having wasted time but not minds


________________________________________________________________________________________

Six people want to
fit into my car - I'll strap
some onto the roof


They will drive with me
Mitt Romney style - they will squint
as the wind blows them


They will enjoy the
interstate in ways they could
not have imagined


I won't be doing
anything to annoy the
A-S-P-C-A


I'll just be putting
people on top, raising their
status and stature


"Putting people first"
that's our logo and the way
we do Biz-ih-ness


Biz-ih-ness reminds
me of the Asian woman's
accent - "BIHJ-ih-ness"


When she did not want
sex she would say, "cloa-juh for
bihj-ih-ness today"


But enough about
sex and strapping people on
top of my car roof


These haiku must now
meander in new ways to
new peaks and valleys


These haiku must be
transported on the wings of
diseased gray pigeons


Diseased gray pigeons
are not the optimum means
or best for haiku


On the wings of doves
or on the wings of eagles
would have raised spirits


Diseased grey pigeons
notice gray becoming grey
That's for search engines


The N-B-A is
is now tainted because of
the dishonest ref


David Stern will now
speak about the N-B-A
referee scandal


Dishonesty in
sports at least did not lead us
to attack Iraq


Dishonesty in
government did lead us to
start and lose a war


The haiku will now
stop as I will turn to what
is haunting me now

Haunting? No it's more
like occupying as I
must do this and that

How many haiku
have I spent today? Not a
forest worth of them


But enough to make
random feel random and to
meander about


This is the it - this
is the end, beautiful friend
This is the eh-end


You must be sorry
That you read this far - you must
be sorry for me
