I agree with you. I used to hate them, but now I write them all the time because I can knock them off in two minutes. Just for you, here's a bumper crop of anti-war haikus:I have never been
Bombed, but I don?t think I would
Send thanks to the pilot.

A liberation?
Kind regards for killing my
Brothers and sisters.

Hiroshima: then
Weapons of mass destruction
Were Truman?s baby

I stood in a crowd
Protesting by a castle -
Some of us were right.

Iraqi summer
Melts the UK issue boots ?
But souls can burn too.

Go, Clare ?Bomber? Short,
Resign from Tony?s polished
Cabinet of War

Fourteen forty one
ignored ? forget inspections,
Launch B52s.
