Haiku Friday - The Week of November 9, 2009

Looking back at the week, Haiku Harry was concerned that not much was going on in the world. As it turns out, sh*t does in fact happen. Hurricane Ida hit the Gulf Coast and is now soaking Washington D.C., and typhoon Obama hits Harry's homeland.

In the event that President Obama decides not to visit the Haiku museum during his Japan junket, he is welcome to partake of the poetical gems that follow:

Health care bill through House,
like a big, fat kidney stone.
Next up: the Senate.

The Berlin Wall fell
twenty years ago this week.
Democracy wins.

Chris Dodd floats a bill.
"To save us from evil banks!"
Who saves us from Dodd?

DC sniper dead,
put down like the dog he was.
Now, on to Ft. Hood.

Dobbs quits CNN.
"I am very important!"
Back to space.com?

Balloon Dad guilty.
"No TV show for you, jerk!"
Heaven help those kids.

Barack in Japan.
No time to visit bomb sites.
"But catch ya' next time!"

Whew! We're winded from all that news. Good thing we have a weekend to recharge the poetry batteries.
