Election Got You Blue & Don't Know What To Do? Here's The Answer-- It's Haiku!
11/8/04 | Various despondent, yet literary, Dems

Posted on 11/09/2004 7:06:06 AM PST by dukeman

The despondent Dems continue to search for ways to deal with and express their grief over President Bush's startling re-election. Somewhere between the grief stages of despair and acceptance some find solace in Haiku poetry. In my travels around the Internet to gauge the mind of the down and out liberal, I've come across the following [these are actual, not my work]:

November second.
That day lives in infamy.
Four more years of hell.

________________________________________

exit polls excite--
going to sleep well tonight!
say the 'F' word: FRAUD.

_______________________________________

Ohio in play?
Only during the daytime.
Nighttime brings Diebold.

_______________________________________

Friends overseas wish us well
Bush bends us over [not really hiaku, but does capture the anger]

_______________________________________

I thought I was just
As good as anyone else
But soon, FMA. [I need explanation]

_______________________________________

Polls are for losers
Bush stole two times in a row
America died.

_______________________________________

My short wait in line
Seemed so inconsequential
After four long years

_______________________________________

Time equals money.
Waiting 8 hours to vote -
Ohio classist.

_______________________________________

TV news locked down.
Afraid to claim outright fraud.
Why are we so scared?

People still feel shock
Over the last "selection"
And fall of towers.

If veil is removed,
We have to acknowledge sin:
Iraq, Abu Ghraib

Sending Private Lynch
into hell at age nineteen.
Most in denial.

How to get the truth
out so all can hear it clear?
Message must be framed.

Sound of howling
Poopy diaper aroma
The libs lost again.

Hollywood depressed
Ben Affleck's career is dead
Do some gay porn next?

Libs scream, "stupid hicks!"
"Our guy was the best, you know!"
Red states say, "Bullschlitz."

Maureen Dowd drinks more
and more and more and more and
more and more and more

Liberal elite
Think they're smarter than we are
Truth always wins out

"Inbred Cave Dwellers"
Liberals called us,
The cry of a sore loser...

"Election Stolen!"
Nut jobs scream,
Where is a squirrel when you need one?

Red and blue make purple
Kerry has three purple hearts
America has one red
