The exercise:

Write two haiku about: vigilance.

No idea what to expect down south tomorrow, but I will hope for the best.

Ah, your prompts have been referring to the 239 pounds (exactly) in the White House? Heh, well yes, I can now see a theme running through quite nicely! The BBC have an article on their website summarising the last four years of that rule in pictures, and while each picture definitely defines an event of that time, it's not really how anyone would choose to be remembered, I think.

Vigilance
Argos never slept,
He was betrayed at the last.
He was not at fault.

The watchman is dead
So why do you complain that
All you value's gone?

Greg - hah, exactly my as... well, his ass ain't. Anyway. I think I will have to look up that BBC article.

I think I like these two equally, or perhaps I just like them as a whole? Either way.
