A Sign From the God of Posts
In the entry below, I note that the NHC discussion correction looked like Haiku. My brain being what it is, I then thought "What fun ~ a Hurricane Haiku Hullabaloo!" Googling proper haiku format to set ground rules, I immediately came across this informative page containing THIS timely, hurricane related GEM:
kono dote-ni(5) noboru-bekarazu(7) keishichou(5) :
"Do Not Climb This Levee - The Police Department"

Not Wind nor Locusts
A curse on the failed Levees
It's always those Jooos...

The storm is brewing
New Orleans is sinking, man
I don't want to swim

Bangla-cola Boogie by

Tried to write haiku
but I am not Japanese
And I can't count

( So? Take off your shoes.
That will give you digits to
mark syllables off. )

Katrina is here
The Governor cries a lot
When cameras roll

The Senator's tears
Are matched by her Gov.'s wailing;
Hill and Rice won't cry

The buses: here now
The press has only hindsight

Said to the young fool
"Son, you are Stuck On Stupid"
Which he soon confirmed.

Big Muddy rolls on;
Past governors and gators,
Mayors and meunière.

The wind always blows
All hurricanes really blow
My haiku does blow

Haiku always blows
But so does all poetry
Why do we do this?

Sheila will go red
When she reads Ken's poetry
Emily would too
