Government bailout haikus

So the world's coming to an end, the government's gone haywire, and our retirements are down the tubes. What better way to respond to the insanity than writing haikus? Please contribute to the collection. I'll add them to the list.

Corps make bad choices
Pray for fed'ral take over?
What are you thinking?

Economic mess
Government clean up attempt
Socialism grows

Small government gone
Paulson's wool o'er Bush's eyes
Where's the GOP?

One global market
A New World Order coming?
Armageddon near

from M.D. McMullin:
country in a mess
o partisan politics
third party needed

(other haikus which are equally fun but do not apply to topic may be viewed in comments)

LOL! I'm no good at haiku writing, but I'll read along. These are great!

Sorry, "ok then" does not follow the 5,7,5 syllable structure of a haiku. Please try again.

Nathan said...

I love it, Pepper!
I told Sunni I hoped you
would gripe in haiku!

Thanks for playing!

I'm such a slacker
I could have been haiku-ing
Maybe there's still time
