It is overcast  
But bradford pears are blooming  
They are so pretty!

**TeleTronOne** you  
Made awful pun 'bout brochure  
And it made me laugh! 😃

Now I must get back  
To work on stinkin’ brochure  
Soon it will be done!

Haiku - please, Dopers  
Remember the rules, then type  
Five, seven and five

For **Swampbear** :

Open QuarkXPress  
Insert some vacuous hype  
Now rearrange it

Dead car in AM  
Shoveling galore tonight  
A wonderful day

New NetApp installed!  
Have to move a terabyte  
Everyone’s happy

What?? Permissions too??  
Ok, you do the script while,  
I go get coffee

Mmm, this coffee’s good  
How’s that script coming, Jose?  
No, not till you’re done

Moving from Novell?  
random permissions set there  
Not in SMB

Still, Microsoft blows  
I’d much rather be sipping  
my coffee at home

Friday, At long last!  
Can’t wait to leave work, go home  
The day is so long

OK, enough, now.  
Haiku are fun but too much  
is too freakin’ much.
