Thanksgiving Fun

Tomorrow is Thanksgiving and I am on the road today.  So no time for a full post.  How about some reader contributed content.  Write your best Thanksgiving haiku in the comments.  We'll vote on our favorites and the winner gets a lame prize from me.  (The prize will probably be a book I picked up somewhere along the way.) Remember, a haiku is 3 lines.  5 syllables in the first line, 7 syllables in the second, then 5 again.

Here are a few I wrote:

Yesterday, all day Seven hundred miles I drove There best be some ham

My Granny Cooks the Turkey so deliciously Pass the gravy Please

Three dollar Blu-ray? I’m not shopping tomorrow Pick one up for me

Stolen post

I stole the content for this post from another blog.  Be warned there is nothing original here.  I was originally going to put this in best web junk, but by then it loses all its timeliness. Yesterday Ze Frank asked for political haikus.  I read them so you don't have to.  Here are my favorites...

In the serious category:

The line is so long But I know that it's worth it I'm calling in sick

I vote my world view I won't vote color or age Don't get distracted

In the humorous category:

What does the loser do with all his balloons? Is there still a party?

In the humorous but also serious category:

it's nearly over thank god the ads will end soon and we can move on

In the poignant political statement category:

When you don't reside in a swing state, it all seems so very distant.

In the completely jaded at such an early age category:

Stop bothering me About this dumb election I am not 18

And my personal favorite:

Local middle school Your gym holds our tomorrow Yet smells like fish Sticks

In the very good but not a haiku category.  (come on it's 5-7-5 people):

There goes another Perfectly good billion Dollars down the drain

Living in a swing state Suddenly my vote matters much more than before!
