A Phew Haiku Just for You

How can I kick cancer's ass
When I don't get any sleep
Animal Kingdom

The raccoons are coming
Again scratching through the wall
At 3am - Damn

I stayed up all morn
Had these weird back spasms, yuck
6:30 bloodwork

Get to MDA
They cancelled my appointment
Forgot to tell me

I go for chemo
They send me to the ER
Bad back spasms still

Wait all damn morning
But got muscle relaxers
Was kind of yummy

Go back to chemo
Only takes 15 minutes
No side effects, whew

Vinchristine is bad
It can burn your skin right off
Chemo is scary

My ride was busy
I read a whole magazine
People is the bomb

Jessica, big lips
Brangelina, who does care?
Tomkat, odd baby

It was a long day
I missed me some internets
But now I'm jammied

How do you haiku
And use the word 'bubbala'
Love me some Shoshie

Now it's transplant time
I need to find out next steps
Where is it going

I can do this, yo
Yo, I really can do this
Am I a rapper?

Today your assignment is to write me a haiku about your day. Or your favorite junk food. Or just anything. I'm stealing this from Sarcomical, but I'm a long time fan of the haiku.

If you forgot - a haiku is a 'bisella' poem. It has five syllables, then seven, then five again. I have faith that you can easily complete this assignment.

Grace.

Now this is what I can do at 11:00 pm EST
4 kids and I was the homework checker.
My brain is dead.

A cold beer
Tastes good when it hits the lips
I want more

Don't fall over laughing at me.

And for Pete's sake you live in TX
get your boots on, and shoot that racoon!!!!

Today was Monday
'Nuff said about that my dear
Mac and Cheez await

I'm doing pretty good on my quest for silliness! I'll have to do some more of these! Peace.

It's just eleven.
So how am I so hungry?
Oatmeal didn't last.

I need to go pee.
Instead, I write Deb haikus!
Oh yeah, I should work...

Bellydance tonight!
Shake and wiggle my jiggles.
Oh yeah, I'm so sexy. :)

Deb could kick my ass
She'd go Uma on my ass!
So cancer is screwed.

Wow, I used ass twice in one haiku. That's... weird.
