HAIKUS FOR THE OPENING CEREMONIES OF THE 2012 SUMMER OLYMPICS

Friday, July 27, 2012

I don't understand
Why the Czech Republic is
Wearing blue Wellies.

Flag bearers! Alert!
Don't block your face with the pole
Or no photo opps.

MissNine wonders aloud,
"How do the women deal with
Burkas? What a drag."

All the athletes smile
As they should, because they are
Fit, and on TV.

"I never heard of
That country," says MissNine, and
I say, "Me neither."

This is twenty-twelve
Why play the Bee Gees' "Stayin' 
Alive?' It seems odd.


The Syrian guys
Are smiling too; glad to be
Out of that mess, eh?


Uh oh! Many blog 
Hits for "Has Paul McCartney
Lost his voice?" Again.


Stop playing U2!
There might be an overload
Of good cheer! AI-EEE!


I am not sure but
I believe I may have heard
Bob Costas farting.
