1. Oh yes, I have...
But I'm not playing because I'm no damn good at haiku...

5. not necessarily my best work
but it's fun to try to compress all the things they have going against them into 17 syllables.

Especially knowing that swear words would likely disqualify...

Thanks for the diversion.

7. Haikus are like bait.
Sure as the rain falls
So too shall Palin wipe
Teardrops from her eyes

Withered at the roots
The tree bears a bitter fruit
Elephants shat here

He's slinking away
That old man of the forest
(That's the chimpanzee)

The baboon flings poo
And so do republicans
But neither thinks much

Like a pond's ripples
The cry reberverating
Obama's our man!
