Oh perfect woman  
Caress me long distance please  
Reconnect our souls.

```auto

Bitter cold wet air
Television pays my bills
Off to work I go.

```

Fragile faceless souls  
Crafting words to touch others  
Such is the Straight Dope.

```auto

Strip away facades
Sub human layers bare teeth
Feral grunting cries.
```

Severe depression

Bargains scream from shelves  
I must fight my urge to save  
I hate you Best Buy  
You lost my HP  
Why am I the bad guy here  
I hate you Best Buy  
Press 1 for some help  
Listen to bad Muzak now  
I hate you Best Buy  
Went to get refund  
My car is hit in your lot  
I hate you Best Buy

Odd eye Aussie man  
comes from down under to ask  
Who can it be now

K-Mart or Wal-Mart  
where will I find the best deal  
Blue light shows the way

I can haiku now  
why could I not do it in school  
failure in lit class

M S T 3 K  
Man and bots make movie fun  
How I miss Mike and Joel

I watch birds have sex  
cable tv is so strange  
Marlin Perkins spins

TV is vast wasteland  
you ain’t just whistlin’ Dixie  
Tom Green Show is on

DVD, CD  
too many choices to make  
ode to an 8 track

In poem up above now

No one will read this  
I am not famous enough

Haikus are like ice  
Cold, calm, and sometimes really hard  
my ode to Haiku

why not the Haiku  
peaceful, serene, and placid  
amidst this shit place

you question the haiku  
why, Jacob, why here, why now?  
shit boy, you are weird

no, the haiku smiles  
remember, haiku is god  
but so is cheeze whiz

the haiku is fun  
much like big masterbation  
as is everything

wow, masterbation  
what the fuck is he saying?  
he’s kinda cute though

I don’t respect you  
Or your company, fatso.  
Eat out of my butt.

My friend wrote that in in email, but it’s so worth sharing.
