Electricity
Is not in any way at
All, overrated.
To lose it at the
Seahawks kickoff made people
Very unhappy.
We went bowling and
Then went out for pizza and
Bought some batteries.
The firefighter
Blocking our street said, "Yeah, don't
Hold your breath, ha ha."
We watched "The Simpsons"
With the last bit of power
On my laptop, cold.
My daughter's nose is
Starting to run and she feels
Lousy, as do I.
Mid-priced hotel here!
We are coming for you now!
A warm sleep, TV.
After turning off
The a/c, a warm sleep, yes
With roaring traffic.
With the people next
Door slamming their door maybe
Thirty times, all night.
With my daughter, sad
Snotty nose, wanting Mom to
Make it all better.
A warm rest -- not sleep--
Was more accurate, but at
Least there was TV.
HAIKUS FOR "MY POWER IS OUT AND I BAILED TO A HOTEL" NIGHT
