Run, shoot, pass, stumble, slip, GOOOAAALLL!

Tuesday Haiku
Kenzo and I were out on a date the other night (Cracker Barrel and a play at Brentwood Academy) when we drive by a (sizable) house that was all lit up for Christmas. On November 10!
The thing that was very interesting was that as we were out running errands earlier that day, I noticed that the decoration installation people were at the house, putting up the decorations. Seriously people, hiring professionals to put up your Christmas tree (s).
So in "honor" of these early birds, I humbly offer my Tuesday Haiku.
Only 40 days.
Must be perfect, call the pro's.
What fam'ly fun....
November 06, 2007

Tuesday Haiku - back by (a tiny little bit of) popular demand
This one brought to you courtesy of the knucklehead who parked his POGUHIT (Pimped-Out Gussied-Up Hummer-in-Training) in two spaces at the incredibly-crowed Crockett Park tonight.
Hey little big man,
with fancy little big car.
Get over yourself.

Tuesday Haiku - Michael Vick
It has been awhile since I felt compelled to dash off a Tuesday Haiku. However, in light of the small issue that has reared it's ugly head (pun intended) I thought that maybe the time was right...
So in (dis)honor of Michael Vick and his (alleged) situation...
Be careful Mike Vick
Sometimes the things you watch will
bite you in the butt.
April 17, 2007

Tuesday Haiku - slip, slippity, slip...
Looks like the Church of England has gone from "playing church" to "playing God" in that they are now supporting, nay advocating, the killing of "severely disabled" babies.
And so I, like the writers of a thousand TV shows, have taken the headlines and turned it into "Tuesday Haiku."
Slip, slippity, slip
Down the old "slippery slope."
What is "severely...?'
November 07, 2006
Tuesday Haiku - A celebration of the political ads
Well we have made it. Election day. A day we celebrate our great democracy...Soon we will have a sense of what the next couple of years has in store in Washington.
But we have another thing to celebrate today...the end of 24/7 political ads. As part of this celebration of freedom (from the ads, not the freedom we as Americans celebrate...) I have composed the "No more political ads Tuesday Haiku."
Fussing, fuming. Gone.
Stillness. Now back to the old...
"Do you have E.D.?"
(this haiku was approved by no one...)

Halloween Haiku
In the midst of my recent trip to the "party" store I saw the display of all the costumes available for Halloween. I was amazed at the common theme in the majority of the adult, and some older kids, costumes.
And so, in tribute to the new breed of costumes, I humbly offer my "Halloween Haiku."
See the new costumes.
Slut witch. Slut nurse. Slut princess.
Can you see the trend?

Tuesday Haiku - Barry Bonds (again)...and some may ask "why...? why does Barry deserve the honor of yet another AtwoodZoo Tuesday Haiku..." He deserves it simply because he has the biggest chemically-induced super-sized noggin in the free world. That's why...
