And still the haiku poured in, covering every topic under the Trump-eclipsed sun. Let's start today with a personal one from a long-time rudester.
From Tom in Roanoke:
2025 was a tough year
Cancer is scary
Even when you can beat it
You can still have doubts
From Jo in Altadena, California:
Eaton Fire, January 7th
Altadena burned.
Hydrants dry; firefighters fled.
Nineteen died in flames.
From even more depressed than last year:
home depot arrests
secret police run rampant
disappearing act
From Dick "Just call me 'Dick'" Fritter from hell in the Midwest:
Shit Palace
America now
Shit Palace tacky White House
Shit rains on our heads
From Scohogo in Ohio's Fairyfieldlands:
Maga gonna Maga
Poor little racists
But thanks to Kirk, DEI
Is the new N-word
From Albatross:
Why Premiums Rise
GOP Healthcare
Was formerly "Die quickly"
Now they add "asshole."
From Doug in Sugar Pine:
Portland, sure, but also just down the road
Plastic frogs are more
Heritage Americans
Than Miller or Vance
And my contribution to the day:
Kilmar
They made him suffer
To hide their crimes and failure
And because they could
The Cabinet of Contempt
They have only one
Facial expression: The sneer
To show they hate us.
Okay, one more day of this and then we're done with this cockflea of a year. Send 'em on: rudepundit@yahoo.com. And don't forget the form: a line of 5 syllables, a line of 7 syllables, and a line of 5 syllables. Title it if you want. Let's keep it going until we dance on the ashes of 2025.
