I tangled with the traffic this morning (something of a recurring theme on this blog, I fear), and on returning home read an email from a friend containing a number of haiku's lamenting the shortfalls of computer technology. So I was inspired to write my own. No prizes for guessing the subject matter...
You are never ending
Sprawling down highways
Like some lazy teen
Too indolent to move
New bus lanes
Add to the chaos
And all but the buses and the ambulances
Are locked
In your choking embrace
With the exception obviously
Of the blue buckets*
To whom normal rules
Do not apply...
With apologies to all the more experienced haiku writers and their fans out there who no doubt can point out a million mistakes in format etc.
*Non Muscovite readers should click here for an explanation of what a 'blue bucket' actually is...
