2008: A year in haiku.

I have been contemplating 2008 and came up with a few haikus to recap the year. Please feel free to add your own haikus in the comments section if you feel so moved.

Ahem:

All my nemeses
This year were victorious
Each may kiss my ass.

To Sarah Palin
You were a fine woman-crush
I’m glad you stopped by.

Taco love knows no
Limitation or reason
Cute, small, tiny paws.

Maddie, Sugarbear
Lights of my life, so furry
Love treats, hate sweaters.

Economy sucks.
But I'm ok; People love
To sue our clients.

Dear Auburn Tigers:
Don’t ruin my life again
Next season. Love, Bets.

Got in my car and
You got to be kitten me
Guilt. Tears. Rabies shots.

I feel a little zen now. I'm still thinking about New Year's resolutions.... will post soon...

Here's one you forgot:

I heart NYC!
Travel with Mom and Nikki:
A "Wicked" good time!

You forgot this one, too:

Maria is sweet
I miss her the most of all
She rocks the whole world

With her delightful
Humor and grace she lights up
A room full of folks

She is indeed the
best thing that ever happened
to Nikki and me

Wow - these are great haikus, guys. You should get together and publish a volume of poetry.

Self aggrandizement
Oh it is alive and well
In Pensacola.

Amy said...

republican grief
sadly knows no boundaries
better luck next time

Oh Pensacola
full of warmth and family
but too f-ing far

Here's a new one from this morning:

My lost sunglasses
constant frustration for me
where the F are they?!

nikki webb said...

we took your advice and penned one together:

ahem:

self aggrandizement
a trait learned from Auburn Fans
please kiss our asses

A-hem

Sir Charles DUI
"In a hurry for the sex"
War eagles fly high?

nikki webb said...

Last one or our new volume of haiku. Rosie would be so proud

Ahem:
little ingrate tarb
selling you "Real" sisters short
where's OUR vegas trip?

Anonymous said...

Didn't make the "Team"
Vegas is still but a dream
My shattered heart wilts

I live for this shit
I don't know if I can quit
Why did you start this?

Love the blog each day
Hoping to be a subject
Chances are slim now

Bets,
Here is my attempt to get back in your good graces:

Good start to '09
Bama lost the Sugar Bowl
Oh happy tigers!

Betsy said...

My sisters: such fine
Smart-ass role models indeed
Now, take a hike-u.

nikki webb said...

you opened the door!
can dish it but can't take it?
A family trait...

Anonymous said...

Thank you for making
ME laugh until I cry tears
Love you both so much

Now, now Maria. No need to be a hater. As Betsy so elequently stated in a later post: we root for the SEC against any other conference. :-)

Love the haikus Bets!
