Arlington List Haikus

A great idea from TJICistan. Although nothing can beat

Who took my [town] job?
It name webmaster. P.S.
I’ll find my town job.

here are my contributions:

Comcast? Verizon?
Here we go again, dammit.
Archives? What are they?

School has been cancelled
Who will care for my children?
My career suffers

You crawled from a hole
Selfish libertarian -
crawl back in that hole!

My driveway plowed in
And I just shoveled it! - Oh,
the humanity!

We must raise taxes!
Our homes will make us wealthy!
Lather. Rinse. Repeat.

UPDATE:

More…

Bush Lied! People Died!
I know this is off topic
Don’t reply to me

Our town is diverse
We are kind and tolerant
Republicans leave!

Silly police log
Man at the door was her son!
(Arlington Suck Tour)

Teenagers at risk:
Don’t drive drunk, you might grow up
to be Town Counsel

Free shit on the curb
Anyone want my free shit?
Trash day tomorrow

Didn’t sell his house
No more basketweaving class
Forgiveness is hard

Quarter to seven
There goes that damn horn again
The townies love it

Fifth time in a row
I can’t attend the meeting
Damn anti-semites!

Running for office
No particulars needed
when all is “process”

Sprague reads for us all
Override passes nearby
Make a shorter link!

Admittedly, some of these don’t have that real Haiku flavor, but I think they’re pretty funny and do a good job distilling a lot of common Arlington List threads.
