Quirky Haikus- VI

Main street woes build up.
Another one bites the dust-
Circuit city doom.

Insider brawling-
Palin and McCain camps are
Baying for Blood.

Quirky Haikus- V

This time, I cannot take credit for the haikus.

In Japan, Sony Vaio machines have replaced the impersonal and unhelpful Microsoft error messages with their own Japanese haiku poetry.

Windows NT crashed.
I am the Blue Screen of Death.
No one hears your screams.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
A file that big?
It might be very useful.
But now it is gone.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
The Web site you seek
Can not be located but
Countless more exist
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Chaos reigns within.
Reflect, repent, and reboot.
Order shall return.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
ABORTED effort:
Close all that you have worked on.
You ask way too much.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Yesterday it worked
Today it is not working
Windows is like that.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
First snow, then silence.
This thousand dollar screen dies
so beautifully.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
With searching comes loss
and the presence of absence:
“My Novel” not found.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
The Tao that is seen
Is not the true Tao, until
You bring fresh toner.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Stay the patient course
Of little worth is your ire
The network is down
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
A crash reduces
your expensive computer
to a simple stone.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Three things are certain:
Death, taxes, and lost data.
Guess which has occurred.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
You step in the stream,
but the water has moved on.
This page is not here.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Out of memory.
We wish to hold the whole sky,
But we never will.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Having been erased,
The document you’re seeking
Must now be retyped.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Serious error.
All shortcuts have disappeared.
Screen. Mind. Both are blank.

Quirky Haikus- IV

(i) Swinging and Rocking-
Painting the town Red or Blue
Barack or Mccain?

(Red represents the GOP; Blue the democrats; That's why we see a lot of political commentators wearing purple ties or accessories... Being impartial :-) )

(ii) (Palin's Rant)
Back to Alaska
Shooting moose,eating humble pie
And sighting Russia.

(iii)
Scary movie poll-
Saw, shining, Ring or is it
President Palin?

Quirky Haikus- III

Shop, baby, shop is
What we need to boost markets-
The new GOP mantra.

Neiman Marcus and Saks
Is what defines success for
The normal hockey mom.

Who wants to be VP?
Coming to a debate near you-
The brand new reality show!!

Quirky Haikus- II

Dow Jones is down
My 401K now hit like a calamity
Bled like one stuck pig

Quirky Haikus- I

Haikus can be fun. More fun than even proverbs. And why? Because you can make them up as well!!
It follows a 5-7-5 syllable and a three line structure.
Let me try my hand at chronicling our recent economic debacle in haikus!!

1)
Stock market is crashing
Houses closing, wall street burning
Fiddle, Bush, Fiddle

2)
Retroevolution-
Lehman Brothers now known as
The Lemmings Brothers.

3)
(From one Wamu to another)
I'm all maxed out.
Plastics dont work like before-
Declaring bankruptcy.

4)
After Mighty Bull bit the dust
And the Bearish ran for cover,
Let's go cold turkey.

(Hint! Hint! Mighty bull and Bearish stand for some of the most esteemed institutions on Wall street).
