Haiku

I went to a poetry reading in San Francisco this evening. I read the following haiku:

Vagrants drink jug wine
In the shady park at noon:
Three martini lunch.

Cars from the suburbs
On jammed freeways go to work:
Bushmen walk about.

Television ads
Kids watch on Saturday:
Street punks peddling dope.

Office seekers speak
At dinner to white-tied guests:
A street whore seeks johns.

The president acts,
Bombs rain on cities at night:
Street thugs shoot victims.

I have never been any good at Haiku...

But I like yours a lot...

I can bet it was well received!

I took some drama in high school. It helps to be ham when reading this to an audience.

Thanks for the good notice.
