It's time for a haiku thread. Tonight, our topic is Karl Rove.
Haiku for Karl Rove:
A frog jumps in hot water --
The sound of treason.




For a big leaguer,
Karl might not have many kills --
But he leads in assists.




Pottery Barn Rule
Catches Karl. You broke it, so
You've bought it: Justice.




And, from bunny planet who inspired this thread:


Rove Rove Rove your boat
Swiftly down shit's creek, without
A stolen paddle.



Please add yours!

3. Wow, catshrink had the same idea in GD!
I think I'll keep this one going (since I found all those nice pictures), and bounce back and forth.

10. .
In the background, the
"Free press" dances in time to
The music that's played.

29. This is one of my favorites.

Maybe because it makes me really want the Democrats in Congress to reclaim the offense, and the country.

5. Ok
From his airy heights
falls Rove, shot from behind from an
Undisclosed location.

Take it in the face, but this
Time, Dick was not drunk.

7. A few more. Hatred of this man makes the creative juices flow....
A turd is just shit
A blossom, soon a flower
This turd, no blossom!

Uses God for fear
But not a believer, he
Hypocrite, that's Karl

Bush's brain, he's not
Not a brain, just a deep hole
no feeling, no heart

So, little boy Rove
So sad as a child, no friends
Turns into this Turd?

Crimes in the open
Media - no memory
Shame on them! Shame! Shame!!

a few of these are kind of obtuse....probably appropriate for Haikus!

8. Damn, those are good.
You got the psychohistory and the media politics in there.

I was hoping that adding the pictures would help people dig deep. Nice!

"Hickory dickory dock."
You know how it ends.

17. Yes.
Down he runs; solid,
Once, enough to grow a bright
Blossom. Now, just waste.

Finding deep down where
A person's soul should be found,
Sadness turned to hate.

If so what stench still lingers
Ah, the Bush remains

26. Ha ha!
I didn't think of it then, but I guess it's not a common vocabulary mixture! :)

Ah, well... who writes haikus about shits anyway? It was bound to come up.

Thread; haiku might spread like sham-
Poo bombs -- kill us all.

19. Something is rotten in Denmark.

Oh, that this too, too
Solid flesh could melt, thaw, and
Undo all Karl's done.

20. We need a mousetrap
The rat has moved his house
he's moved his residence is all
his droppings left behind
New droppings wherever he may
lurk.

21. Love the illustrations, bleever!
Fuck 'em Fuck 'em hard!
Policy of ignorance
Small in soul and mind

Believe my own hype
Overated genius, I
Ripe for a face pie


Backwards robbin' hood
Made the US rich richer
Stolen from the poor



Cher

27. Sayonara on a summer day
The time has come
Evil Lord Turdblossom knows
to steal away

The death toll will be hidden
but a heckuva job was done here,
Spectacular Damage

Sniff, sputter and smirk
it's an honor to serve my Master
and so on down the Dark Road

The diabolical Architect waves,
Dancer on Graves in a pig mask
making his getaway

30. Little black dog.
Edited on Wed Aug-15-07 01:51 AM by TankLV
Little does he know
Manong in the shadow...

Urinals
Only Kleenax
And the smell of stale perfume

I miss Rap Reiplinger...
