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.

Lennin was a mean bastard. I blame him. And Stalin.
the important question is:
why did the Reds all have such cool beards and/or moustachios?

This is dedicated to the great Marxist historian Eric Hobsbawm, who joined the communist after the invasion of Hungary in 1956, just as everybody else was resigning. Fact.
You smell. Fact.

Piper's Negligence
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
There once was some shit in a diaper
Belonging to Baroness Piper
I consulted her mum
'bout the state of her bum
And she said she'd forgotten to wipe her.

You have to admire Hobsbawm for that And I like this haiku, it made me chuckle. Chuckling is good and a very neglected art these days.

I'm glad I made you chuckle. A good chuckle is a beautiful thing.

Hmmmm...I could be a foolish yes man like most other people on this site, but at the end of the day, this poem is a pile of pointless rubbish, but then again we've come to expect no more from you, so in one way its average, in another you could just be realistsic and say 'IT'S RUBBISH'
