Haiku Madness

Who is that again?
always with the catch phrases
idiot box man

Idiot Boxman,
an obscure superhero;
I love his comics!

I love his comics!
Alas theft is illegal
so I am in jail

So I am in jail
You should never cross state lines
With goats and Cheez Whiz

with goats and Cheez Whiz
but don’t forget the crackers
made out of haggis.

Made out of haggis
this unusual dish delights
young and old alike

Young and old alike
Watch American Idol
As Simon mocks folks.

As Simon mocks folks,
Little kids shed bitter tears.
Simon Sez is harsh.

Simon sez is harsh
speaking truth to powerless
its an ego trip

It’s an Ego trip
Fly to the living planet
for a long weekend

For a long weekend
invite over grandparents
teach them computers

“Teach them computers,”
said the hillbilly, but he
did not understand.

Did not understand.
Asked for an explanation.
Became more confused.

Became more confused
since my brain is too damn small;
long my curse in life.

long my curse in life
finally silenced in death
nothing else to say.

Nothing else to say
Just have to sit and to wait
till his fate is known.

Till his fate is known
homefires will be burning
for all dead heroes

For all dead heroes
I lift my glass in tribute;
here’s to the fallen.

Here’s to the fallen,
The wounded, not forgotten
Still here in our hearts.

Still here in our hearts
we honor your sacrifice
moment of silence.
