 Miscellaneous Haiku Entry

Yesterday, right about 5 p.m., I got a jolt of creative energy, and whipped out six haikus in about three minutes. Since I have absolutely nothing to write about today, In lieu of an actual entry I bring you "Miscellaneous Haiku"! Enjoy!

Work Day Mishaps

1.
Tailored trouser leg
says, "Pee on me!" to small dog.
Bowser said, "Okay!"

2.
Running late for work,
Joan missed the train; had to wait.
Her latte got cold.

3.
Early Monday morn,
bus splashes dirty water
on new leather shoes.

Kip, the Ski Instructor

1.
Zipping down the slopes,
Ski instructor Kip goes so fast!
Overconfident.

2.
Nighttime on the slopes.
Skiers fly down lighted runs.
Kip watches sadly.

3.
Mitzy signed the cast,
"Too bad you missed the fun, Kip.
Hope your leg heals fast."

for what it's worth,
