Me gaining weight
Me fending the women off
Me enjoying life

Forgot to rhyme the 5's, opps.

Syllables are 6
in "Pre-dict Two-thou-sand-three."
Let's write a quick fix.

Me getting engaged
J. Lo. Getting a divorce
Ben marry Damon

Usability;
Executives take interest.
Standards promote quality.

You're right, I can't count
Sometimes six sounds like seven
I'll fix it right now

here, drinking coffee
counting finger taps on desk
rhyming escapes me

drowning in schoolwork
pressure to satisfy self
yet sleep beckons me

With "To," it's haiku.
You were so prompt to correct!
My hat's off to you.

more of the same things we knew from before
I don't like haiku
so show me the door

13 Dec 2002 | OP said...

iraq we'll bomb-a

and happy Osama

You people are the
weirdest guys that I know of
but I am not. Meh.

Signal versus Noise

will be redesigned again

Zeldman will rejoice

13 Dec 2002 | Brad said...

How embarrassing
to have screwed up the line breaks
stop your snickering

13 Dec 2002 | Scott said...

Next year I must rob
liquor stores or panhandle
without a new job

13 Dec 2002 | zeldman said...

Chemical weapons.
Another Harry Potter.
Nuclear weapons.

13 Dec 2002 | Scott said...

The Republicans
get overconfident and
spoil all of their plans.

13 Dec 2002 | walljm said...

photography will
get better for as well
as my poetry

13 Dec 2002 | Chad said...

We will see nothing
but death and destruction now
that Bush thinks he's King

13 Dec 2002 | carl said...

Wipe your liberal tears
Saddam's been killing people
for 30 plus years

13 Dec 2002 | Hagbard Celine said...

Bombs rain on Hussein
And elsewhere in the Mid East
Here we go again

(If only he could)
Dubya should read some hist'ry:
The Roman Empire

13 Dec 2002 | David said...

Predictions are made
Many lottos will be played
Work's better and paid.

14 Dec 2002 | John said...

New U2 album
Primary colors of rock
Viva la Bono!

14 Dec 2002 | John said...

I will learn to rhyme
When I go back to college
If I have the time

15 Dec 2002 | Jeff said...

Fingers point and wave
lightness distant before the rumble
a chunk of Iraq lands in my backyard.

15 Dec 2002 | Leah said...

No cause? We'll fake it.
They hate our freedom to kill.
Nothing is sacred.

You're either with us
Or you're sitting atop oil--
In which case, you're toast.

on planet UK
we say two thousand *and* three
so it is OK

17 Dec 2002 | Tom said...

Torrents of bullets
Knocking men off of camels
Saddam, here we come!

Escaping my job
will have me streaking through snow
and into art school

17 Dec 2002 | Betty LeRhyming... said...

Past visions of blue
passed from me to you... remain
post-nuclear hue

19 Dec 2002 | DWynn said...

All of my tech stocks
Will recover their value.
(at least I hope so!)

19 Dec 2002 | DWynn said...

Better get clients
Before the wife gets madder
And gets out the gun!

19 Dec 2002 | DWynn said...

Unemployment rocks!
More free time but much less stress.
Oh crap, no income...

21 Dec 2002 | David said...

It is such a shame
People don't understand "Rhyme"
Well. They are just lame.

28 Dec 2002 | mal said...

City in a rage
Wake up, smell the coffee shop
Turn another page

29 Dec 2002 | AlbertOMG said...

Alberto wins heart
or little bird flies the coop
Forget where to start

31 Dec 2002 | Bob not Robert said...
