Well, actually it's better than anything the Bostonian Drunkard or the American Nana primitive ever wrote.

Bankruptcy Haiku
Bill enjoys writing haiku as a release from the pressures of the bankruptcy law world. In keeping with the tradition of the great zen bankruptcy masters, please feel free to add to the chain by writing your own haiku in the comments section below.
****************
To write all weekend
But convey nothing. ‘Tis my
Disclosure statement
****************
Consumers suffer
But my main worry: How to
pronounce BAPCPA?
****************
Many times I hear
“Yes, I’m in bankruptcy.â€
The joke grows old
****************
Indignation and
Litigation all for two
Cents on the dollar
****************
Soaring overhead
They gather in Bowling Green
To tear at the meat
****************

1. This can get addictive.
Corporate frenzy
Bosses stuffing their pockets
Workers only stuffed.
Stockholders get stiffed
Bosses get fat bonuses
Business as always
I made an oopsie!
Uncle Sugar save me now!
Screw the little folks.

7. EXCELLENT! We're forgotten in the good times, and pushed aside in the bad times!
Bad news is no news for us.

While empires crumble
Those Poppy sales break records
In Afghanistan

4. Here's mine...
Welfare? They give it
happily to bail out banks.
People? Not so much.

DUmmies/primitives:
society's leeches.
The dregs of humanity.
OR...
Magnificent desolation
within the DUmmie skull.
Where's the brain?

Damn, you're good, ChuckJ, sir.
Poetry's way out of the capabilities of this skull.

Thanks frank. What little ability I have in that area is due in small part to Odor Eaters and a fascination with Poe's "The Raven" and Frost's "Nothing Gold Can Stay"

Out of the bushes
The cop did jump out at me
It really happened

"Ode to Joanne98"
Roses are red
Violets are blue
Awh hell, Screw you

Small minded creatures,
They get so full of themselves,
When not full of hate.
