More Eastside Haiku
Good shape, starts most days A 400-dollar truck It's Easy Street now Hey Brook Creek burglars! We know kung fu, know crazy! Our dog, she's part Rot! Man on the levy Carries heads in those Merc bags Mumbling madman More coffee now [please] Bitch mama worked all damn night Pleasure to live with Boy missed the toilet Puppy crapped over there, too Where's the girl's diaper? Snow and ice are fun With front wheel drive and bald tires "Yee-haw!" yells the boy. I think it's possum Smooshed--no maybe someone's cat? Closer--oh! no! skunk!

Is it skunk that smells?
Where does that strange smell come from?
Brook Creek or the Kaw?

Ah, Leslie, your poetry, as always, has moved me to tears. Or maybe it's the handfull of nape-hair Penny is merrily yanking. Anyway, I'm crying.

You make me proud to be an east sider. I can't pick my favorite... the man on the levy or "bitch mama worked all damn night." Either way, I'll be disappointed if these aren't featured in the next neighborhood assn. newsletter.

These are too good! The one about front-wheel drive w/ bald tires in the snow was right on the mark! Here's my contribution:
