Judge Gonzales's body
absorbs "bullets" meant for me.
I leave him lifeless

4. you misunderstand.
Edited on Mon Aug-27-07 02:24 PM by Buzz Clik
It's written in the first person of George Bush -- Gonzo sacrifices himself for Bush, and Bush shows his gratitude by walking away.

If others feel that the Haiku represents me shooting Gonzo, I'll delete it.

EDIT: I changed it. It really did sound like I was murdering Gonzales.

:scared:

14. Haiku U!
Edited on Mon Aug-27-07 03:00 PM by skip fox
A turd drops
Pond of nation's justice
Slurred plop

Or I could be boringly exact with:

A turd drops into
The pond of nation's justice
With a wee slurred plop.

15. Three for Gonzo
1.

Gonzo, as your feet
tread the floor protect your
ass from the door.

2.

Buh-bye, Gonzo dear.
Don't let the President's door
hit your little rear.

3.

US Attorneys
weeping over their lost jobs.
No tears for Gonzo.

16. I love Haikus! Here are a few -
Who can tell why he
decided to finally
leave - no, no, not he!

When our kids forget
and lie and twist the truth
we can thank Albert

Failure more failure
Bush and all that surround him
Surprised? I am not.

Does he feel shame when
He spews the endless Lies? Well,
Now we'll never know.

22. Sure, why not...
Why did he resign?
For more time with family?
He doesn't recall.


His love of torture
Extends to the very side
Of John Ashcroft's bed.


It's supreme justice
Alberto will never be
A Supreme Justice.

23. To Alberto...
Water poured down throats,
While finger nails are ripped out.
This, your legacy.
