Haiku Madness

We’re not really “in”
My Member’s Only jacket
Makes hip people cry.

Makes hip people cry?
Hip people? Who uses that
Outdated lingo?

Outdated lingo:
I can dig it, daddy-o,
'cause I’m the bee’s knees.

'Cause I’m the bee’s knees
Will she let me cop a feel?
Peace, brother. Hang loose.

Peace, bother hang loose.
I am putty in your hand
between the whispers.

Between the whispers
Are the screams of utter joy
Pure, sheer ecstacy

Pure, sheer ecstasy,
The wild drone of paperwork
on Monday morning.

on Monday morning
You gave me no warning of
what was not to be

What was not to be
Never was, never would be
Ain’t gonna happen

Ain’t gonna happen,
uh-uh, no way, not at all,
not a bit… maybe.

not a bit…maybe
The “might maybes” of the world
I really hate them.

I really hate them
Cowboys! “America’s Team”?
Ha! They are felons!

Ha! They are felons!
No! They didn’t do it and
you can’t prove they did.

You can’t prove they did!
And I can’t prove they didn’t!
Where’d our logic go?

Where’d our logic go?
Extremes win elections; thus
our ludicrous claims

Our ludicrous claims
of being the world’s police
just ain’t workin’ out

Just ain’t workin’ out
The gym fees are way too high
And I am lazy

And I am lazy,
lustful, gluttonous, and proud,
but I’m sober. Wah!

But I’m sober! WAH!
To be unencumbered, free
My life’s now my own!

My life’s now my own
prison, desolate I yearn
for the good old days.
