Haiku from May 2008

Dick
     The fortune cookie said: “Quick! Write a haiku to your best friend.”

Grandchildren galore,
One dead wife, one blonde alive,
Running by the shore.
               (5/13/08)

Anesthesiology Fees

The numbed sleep is free.
The only thing we bill for
Is the waking up.
             (5/23/08)

or…

Minor surgery—
Accidental death a risk—
Painless, mild, and quick.
             (5/25/08)

Pro Sports

Why does it matter?
Why the frenzied home team cheers?
Losers, too, get paid.

Coliseum sport—
Christians and lions contend—
Losers’ fate: dead meat!
                 (5/25/08)
