Friday Afternoon Haiku

by: Rosi Efthim

Fri Dec 03, 2010 at 12:47:06 PM EST



Big news week. Governor Grinch gets slapped back on medi-pot ... (with breaking news today). NJN deadline looms ... Christie spends $485/hour on an out-of-state lawyer to try and make our $271 million bill from the feds go away ... Christie makes a "poster boy" out of Parsippany school chief Lee Seitz ... the bear hunt ... oy, the bridges ... street sign drama ... First Lady finds her mission ... NJ blows another ed grant, doesn't tell anybody for 4 months ... our YouTube Gov ...Fred Scalera - poof! ... Sweeney wtf?

Surely you remember the rules. Of course I do. And don't call me Shirley.

5 syllables, the 7, then 5 again. Write your verse on the topic suggested, then you get to name the topic for the next person's haiku. Lather. Rinse. Repeat. Multiple submissions encouraged. Always extra credit for links. I'll start you off:

Christie to Give Commencement Address at U. Delaware Alma Mater

No mean courses here
I learned how to cheat and lie
From New Jersey pols

Next Topic: $271 million

Great day for Women, Jews, and
Progressives.  Hooray!

Freddie (0.00 / 0)
At two vast extremes,
Fred Scalera to Rush Holt,
from oy to genius.

(okay, out of order, I couldn't resist, now tossing to y'all for a haiku on Rocco Mazza, who'd make a great Assemblyman.  Shabbat shalom.)
