Random haiku #10
Sep. 24th, 2011 12:54 amFor Jim, 1936-1990
A boy and his frog,
on a show and street showed us,
Muppets can touch souls.
Muppets and Fraggles,
Crystals and Labyrinths too.
Yoda too we love.
We still miss you Jim,
and the worlds you shared with us.
Gone from us too soon.
There is still a hole unfilled,
shaped like a boy and his frog.

Aug. 24th, 2011 08:28 amRed light, on a bike.
No danger should I run it.
Does not flesh beat steel?

Okay, okay, I get it. You're part of some bicycle team. Practicing for some big event. Guess what? I used to have to ride a bike everywhere I wanted to go, and I'll still say you're an idiot for running the red turn arrow on a bicycle.
Flesh colliding with a minimum thousand pounds of high speed steel? Yeah, you'll lose that fight ten times out of ten.
Hmm. Is it me or have almost all these haiku been grumpy/snarky?

Aug. 23rd, 2011 03:42 pmFollow directions?
Wow! How did you think of that?
You are a genius!

It is a bit discouraging sometimes how many problems a day I fix by pointing to the directions sitting in front of someone and asking, "Have you tried following the directions?" Followed by shocked amazement from the one helped when following the directions actually works.
Called a genius for suggesting trying to directions at least once? Um... Well, I suppose for certain definitions of genius. Somehow I still manage to be optimistic about the future.

minor_architect is proposing to run through aldersprig and kc_obrien's follow up 30 Days of Flash Fiction prompts, using them as prompts for haiku. This got me thinking of doing haiku as well. And pondering a maddeningly more common occurrence came again today...The problem exists
September never-ending

If you aren't sure what this is referring to, then review PEBKAC and September that Never Ended.
I don't mind people who are beginners. I mind people who seem either willfully ignorant (and determined to stay that way) or who seem just plain unable to learn from experience.
"Hey, I've tried putting this same username and password in ten times and it keeps saying 'Username or Password is wrong', will it work if I try again? No? How about if I try again?
"Click on the reset password link? Why would I do that? What if I just try putting in the exact same username and password again?"
