Airport Screener Haiku Poetry

Airport Screener Haiku

Not enough money
Scanning is such a royal pain
Except for the fun

You keep no secrets
From me, the airport screener
Xrays expose you

Hurried passengers
Sometimes get very angry
When I say "shoes off"

An elderly man
Whose cane looks like solid wood
Scare him with the wand

Twisted grimace man
Take that laptop computer
Shut up - turn it on

I smirk inside when
I notice zippered pockets
Dump out everything

Someone missing flight
Take your time with him, and do
All the tests on him.

Three kids and a dog
Grill Mom with stern-faced questions
Tell her: spread legs wide

Staring at the screen
Suddenly a safety pin
Transforms to weapon

Call National Guard!
I can be on nightly news!
Symbol of boredom.

Time for coffee break
Unplug an xray machine
Evacuate terminal

Today is my 1-year anniversary as an enrolled member of Free Republic. I hope these measly little poems give someone a laugh, and maybe provoke funnier haiku from the FR experts.

Blonde chick with big boobs
Belly shirt and low slung jeans
Must do special search

Hated bourgeois scum!
Time for working-class payback:
My hands down your pants

They've gone way too far
Only one way to stop this
Never fly again

Doing search on Don King's hair.

Government expands
Civil rights are obstructed
Terrorists chuckle

I still rate that as the funniest single thread I have ever seen on FR. A FR legend!
