Bio
I was born the same year Kennedy was assassinated. My parents got divorced during the Summer of Love ('67) I'm not a journalist, I'm just a dedicated Democratic Library Assistant with a lot of bottled-up rants. But I'll try to be amusing when possible. _________________________ My Late Friend Kim would agree with this: "Nobody should die because they can't afford Health Insurance. Nobody should go broke because they get sick." Teddy, Greg and Roger, I'm SO with you on this one. And also with everyone else displaying this. --------- "I wrestle like Jane Austen and write like Jesse 'The Body' Ventura." Justice must be done for Trayvon Martin.

Thursday Haikus

Rate: 6 Flag

 Viking Ship 

The Old is New, Again

Centuries before

We could fly, we sailed over

This watery planet. 

 

Does It Make Too Much Sense?

Planes can’t fly through ash,

But ships can sail beneath the

Black umbrella, no? 

 

Old Time Glamor

“Getting there is half

The fun” On a slow ship, true

Glamorous travel 

 

Carnival Cruise Lines

This could be your time

To shine; Sail to Europe and

Bring people back home. 

 

STOP THAT!

You damn Volcano,

Stop spouting ash! We had plans!

Vacation ruined.

 

 
Cowboy

  Open Carry

Dear Starbucks, you don’t

Run a frontier saloon chain,

Why humor gun fools? 

 

When I was Little

I loved water pistols

I guess your favorite toy

Has a louder bang 

 

What’s To Love?

You want to know why

I hate seeing you armed? See,

VA Tech, Columbine.

don't mind me i just refuse to apologize for not wanting to get shot, or disturbed people going around armed in public? do you carry your gun around with you because you can't go around with your willie out?, after columbine and virginia tech you can't figure out why i'm not crazy about guns?, old is new again, volcanoes can't be ordered around, nature bats last, if they can't fly home why not sail them home?, remember haiku thursday?

Hai-kuality.
OK, poor attempt at a pun.
Excellent and timely.

Nontraditional haiku...(One line, 10-17 syllables)

I stare at the screen cannot sleep or dream

alone but not lonely the darkness surrounding light

I wonder how many gun owners read Haiku? I hope they all read yours.

really enjoyed these, but especially this one:

Open Carry

Dear Starbucks, you don’t

Run a frontier saloon chain,

Why humor gun fools?
