Barack Haiku

Axe’s bitter arc/

Splinters our liberty tree/

Does Osama’s work/

Crafted like diamonds/

Or spewed in love and fear/

Can’t stop an oil spill/

“Daddy oh Daddy/

Stomp your magic foot, look mad”/

Carville grow a pair/

Flag draped war cost/

Why did they travel in stealth?/

Were blind, now we see/

#afghanistan, #bush, #pr, #obama, #honor, #war dead

“Fair” FOX dining out/

Keep the henhouse keys close in/

They leave a red mess/




#fox news, #mopping up, #obama

earflaps not working/

to ward off bugging house fly…/

two gentle waves…..smack!/

I’m working – go way/

Buzz me once, grin, twice, curtains/

Bugs, elephants too/

 

No mumbled cower/

Head up, the humility/

To see we are one/

Speak fair minded words/

Far from home’s safe fireside chair/

Open minds and open hearts/

A gentle chuckle/

Mutes hard elbows to red foes/

Keeping score, yes sir/

One hundred and one/

Air freshener deployed/

Deep cleaning begins/

Seventh grade sucked

Wish I paid more heed back then

Its DC write large

Full sentences turn/

Gusts of queries to real meat/

Slowly press grows up/

Link – Obama teaches the press

Media whores shout/

Look here, boo scare! watch the ad/

Not news just ad sales/

A haiku epic about Rush Limbaugh and Barack Obama.

Clear course, now the fight/

Deeper into blue water/

Big O sets a line/

Rush to his judgment/

Chief bully bites ego bait/

His words weigh him down/

On deck a calm O/

Ego sharks thrashing deeper/

Tide rise lifts blue wave/

Dittoheads cry cry/

Rally round champion mouth/

All anchor, no boat/

Christ in a parade/

Rick is flawed just like you/

Leaves off the same tree/
