Paper needs grading
shows ken but not mastery
student gets a B
-- College professor haiku from Deb Geisler
"Vagina," she says
Scaring boys in Michigan
With her lady parts
Principal road work
Repaving Nicollet Ave.
Done for Twenty Twelve
Raising suspicion
Our clocks are not what they seem
Fell backward last night
Barrage of ads say
Day of Judgment is at hand
Polls close tomorrow
Vote vote vote vote vote
The bad guys don't want you to
So vote already
Polling is right on
Republicans look stupid
Nate Silver calls it
Obama's mandate
Is to be more liberal
Just as he promised
Republicans whine
Suppressing five million votes
Could not steal the night
The wrong emphasis
Was placed onto "betray us"
Accent on the "us"
Dorothy's plain dress
doesn't scratch Seven Year Itch
like Marilyn's frock
-- re Judy Garland's Wizard of Oz dress fetching $480,000
To our warriors
We cannot thank you enough
Please accept haiku
Coffee tastes different
A bright world of muffled sound
Smells of damp and cold
