Impressive first effort, Mr. M. Ian and I both read it a couple of times. Next stop: New Yorker?

Bravo! What a great idea. Here's another, from experience:

You took a picture?
I took a picture.
Erase it, sir.

@John, funny, but not really a haiku since it doesn't have the 5-7-5 syllable pattern.

You took a picture?
Of this building in public.
Please erase it, sir.

There is no dancing

barn door is open
we must close it right away
though the horse is gone

by Michael Perkins on Nov 9, 2010 11:02 am  

Thanks, Michael, and oops! I didn't know the 5-7-5 rule. Here's another one, inspired by a recent Post article:

Monument so tall
Will we have a bombing nut?
Magnetometer

Nice view from Lincoln
Time to take out the tripod
Oops under arrest

None of this matters
All security theater
Freedom lost for lies

Hey, is that your bag?
Little words can mean so much.
They will be ignored.

Born naked you are
Board a plane naked you are
What is the matter?

I'd just like to say
'Thank you George W Bush'
I hope you're happy

It's really a shame that "don't tase me, bro" is only four syllables.

by Michael Perkins on Nov 16, 2010 3:50 pm  

Two choices await:
electronic strip searching
forcible fondling

by Michael Perkins on Nov 16, 2010 3:51 pm  

"do not tase me, bro" gets you the fifth you need!

by Geoffrey Hatchard on Nov 16, 2010 3:52 pm  

Belt, keys on the tray,
went through magnetometer
Hey! Don't touch me there!

by Matt Johnson on Nov 16, 2010 4:02 pm  

Long line to be scann'd:
a virtual strip searching
Next time, take Amtrak

Step in, Raise your arms
Hold another minute
Step out, Go over there
Turn your head and cough

"We do this for you."
"Hey! That looks like my penis,
glowing on the screen."
