The exercise:
Write two haiku about: the mascot.
Another hot day. Ready for my two days off now.
Mine:
Giant panda head
in severe summer heatwave;
he's been dead two days.

Cute friendly tiger
helps sell sugar coated food
to little children
While I like the reference to the Frostie's Tiger (Tony?) your first haiku is a clear winner for me today. And I hope this isn't something you ever have to clean up while on the new job!
ReplyDeleteThe mascot
Made in China, like
All the world's mascots. Praise our
Sino-overlords.
Cuddly dark monsters,
Our world is Disneyfied; we
Think we're safe at last.
Greg - Tony the Tiger indeed :)
ReplyDeleteAnd... yes, me too.
Ooh, tough to choose between yours. Plus they form an acrostic! Seems like a good excuse to call it a tie and move on :)
