France might take her back
now that Lady Liberty's
pledge is forsaken.

next: promises

You promised them "Great"
Willingly, they bought the lies
Quite the bait and switch!

Next: Resist

Laws are for the weak
Do not comply as it is
not really needed.


next: camping

Lie under the stars.
look DOWN into the deep well
from earth's underside.

next: gravity

Newton invented it.
Before him, people needed
Velcro on their shoes.

next: obstinacy

Obstinacy wrote this
sheer bloody mindedness is
a bugger at times.

Next word:  Happiness

Happiness: largely,
the absence of anything
to be glum about.

Why did I come in?
I must have had a reason.
Cannot recall it.

Next word:  Dissembling.

When they throw the book
at you, the wisest course is
always, "No comment."

next: a family occasion

Kith and kin unite
Then argue over nonsense
Can't wait for next time.


next: good news


My good news from yesterday: you don't have cancer
I was quite pleased to hear that

Bloody hell, I should hope you were!  I am, and we've never met.  Congratulations - keep it up.

They say, No news is
good news.  They should try being
a news editor.

next: cookbook

Also glad to hear of your good news, Patty. Don't know if you remember, but we go way back to the days of AOL chat groups. You introduced me to the old forum.

I experiment,
been cooking a long time and
write my own cookbook.

If you ignore dust
for long enough, it won't get

This is a Public Service Announcement.

Once dust is thick enough it tends to cluster and become cohesive.  After this doesn't blow around until some house-proud idiot disturbs it.  Asthmatics know this.

Right...  back to someone else for the next Haiku.

Linda, I remember! Not everything ... but


Cookies or flowers
Sweet little treats for the eyes
Perhaps the stomach.
