\"Haiku<\/a><\/p>\n

I’m all knotted up
\nDisastrous case of twine flu
\nThe cure: a good yarn<\/p>\n

My pal’s back is hurt
\nPerhaps she has the spine flu
\nThe cure: lay supine<\/p>\n

Niece “bucket” age two
\nno shocker has caught “mine flu”
\nother tykes: adieu!<\/p>\n

Complainin’ and mopey
\nI have the whine flu fer shure
\nCure? methinks WINE flues!<\/p>\n

I could go all day but lemme hear yours! leave a comment below<\/em><\/p>\n

Debate? No debate?
\nCandidates love and love not
\nLets get it started.<\/p>\n

Metro whistlers, SHHHH!
\nSometimes I wake up grumpy,
\nsometimes let him sleep<\/p>\n

“solved.” without mccain.
\nit’s raining in washington
\nsince obama left<\/p>\n

snowdrifts of paper
\nemail, voice-mail, lists to do
\nhow to shovel out<\/p>\n

and yet, even here,
\neven now, with so much flux
\nthere is peace. in love.<\/p>\n
