Homebrew haiku: Sports car in space

Feb 8, 2018, 7:07 AM

Some stories are just too metaphysical to lend themselves for the usual commentary format.

So let’s bring in the magic wind chimes for a little homebrew haiku. We’ll use the traditional 5-7-5 format.

I call this series: “Sports car in space.”

Red car in orbit
Expensive speeding ticket
If you can catch him.

Self-parking boosters!
Like a movie in reverse
Top that, Kim Jong Un!

Three, two, one, liftoff!
Elon Musk triumphs Bigly-
Didn’t need parade!

New official rule:
Tinker bell’s life is at stake
Clap or it’s treason!
