Bush’s god loves all  
Someone set us up the bomb  
Now bullet love rules

Jesus was quite clear  
Pubs support war and tax cuts  
Jesus is confused

Gay love and shellfish  
Both are abomination  
No shrimp in my church!

We will not retreat  
Honor the dead by dying  
Mom’s tears have no weight

Rodney King was wise  
Can’t we all just get along?  
Arrested again

Love to the muslims  
Did Mohamed say kill me?  
I am just asking

I jog too early  
My bowels have not yet moved  
Shit on neighbors lawn

God created strepp  
It still fucking hurts like hell  
God gave birth to pain

I built a castle  
With hard work and faithfulness  
Rain makes me fearful

Your dry tongue is cracked  
Please drink some of my water  
My soul begs you drink

One spring day, perhaps,  
You’ll learn to count syllables.

FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK  
Newly repaired car goes dead  
While turning corner!

Luck: No cars hit me.  
Pushed in neutral to the curb.  
Towed back to shop. FUCK.

Did I mention: FUCK!?  
Mechanic investigates  
Car won’t stall for him.

Theory of moment:  
Could be defective new part  
Replacing old pump.

One-year warranty  
Will cover if that’s it – IF.  
If not? FUCK FUCK FUCK.

Sigh. Back to rental.  
More bills, more hassle, more urge  
To scream. Or just say:

FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK  
FUCKITY-FUCKILY FUCK  
Drat this gosh-darn mess.

Car window is down  
And determined to stay there  
Oh no, deja’ vu

This was expensive  
To fix last time it happened  
Just jerry-rig it

ETF, I’m glad  
You’re okay; let’s both say “fuck”  
My Saturn sister

A haiku-writing beetle’s new quirk:  
Syllable-counting to shirk  
Along came newcrasher  
And proceeded to trash her  
So she decided to get back to work. 🙂
