For those following me for a while, you are familiar with my copying another blogger's tradition of ending the year in haiku. That person is The Rude Pundit, a very political blogger, and easy to locate here on Blogspot. Spoiler alert: he takes his rudeness seriously, so if you prefer to avoid that kind of language, however funny and well targeted it is, perhaps take a pass, or at least read him while the kiddies are elsewhere. This is the only time I ever think of doing haiku, and long winded as I am, find it an interesting challenge to sum up ideas in 5,7, and 5 syllables. Especially when they're all politics.
It’s been a hot year.
So much worse will be coming
I weep for the young.
The ice was our friend.
Our glaciers locked up methane
But we turned it loose.
Oceans will die first
But we'll party uncaring here
Until no more shrimp.
The R’s grow fascist.
They must pretend we’re much worse.
Will it work this time?
Throw Don in prison.
Time to keep his voice silent.
Make this country sane.
The fetus at all costs!
Until it’s born and breathing.
Then “Welcome cruel world.”
What you didn’t want:
Haiku Extravaganza!
Will repeat next year.
