Baghdad Election (Haiku) by Mona Lisa

Purple fingers stain a soiled president as caddyâs follow Bush.

What charming little conversations you had with your Mother. Thank you for explaining your poem to me without your guidance I feel I would have spent weeks blundering around, like a visually impaired person with a dead guide dog, to find the connection between purple fingers, the poems title and the recent election in Baghdad. Having explained it to me in such a gracious manner I wonder whether you could provide further elucidation; why is the recent election in Iraq a stain upon Mr Bush and his caddies, I would have thought, naively perhaps, that the recent election was the one good thing to have happened in Iraq since the war rather than a further colossal infraction for drug addled lefties to beat up the Bush adminisatration.

Furthermore, I am glad voting your dreary dross a one has annoyed you, that is entirely the reason I gave it to you.
