The exercise:

Write two haiku about: an idiot abroad.

There is a TV show by the same name, but that's not what inspired this prompt. I'll just say it was a bit of a frustrating day at work today.

The prompt reminds me, for some reason, of A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court. I assume you had some tourist being particularly boneheaded, unless of course one of your Directors is foreign and refuses to learn how Canada works. I say put them on the back of a moose and have them ride with the Mounties for a day as an education ;-)

An idiot abroad
We finally sent
Our last idiot abroad.
Our country's empty....

Home's where his brain is.
Out here, he just drools and grins.
One day he'll go back.

Greg - you were closest with the Director guess. One of ours was away at conference, causing headaches for the hotel staff and then for me trying to sort the issues out.

He is not my favorite.

Ha, these are great. Can't pick one I like better.
