A big HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Ethan, who turns 12 years old today. Bone, you made it tough on us haikuers today... nine out of 17 syllables already accounted for, and a five-syllable word, too! And to all this week's participants: I apologize in advance if I don't get round to your sites this week. It's a wicked busy time at work. Plus, it's ETHAN'S BIRTHDAY!



order to "work late"
inappropriate touching
shortcut to lawsuit


order salvation
inappropriate credit
no heaven shortcut


this shortcut sucks, dude

YYEYAY! FOR BIRTHDAYS and fathers who celebrate them!!!!
I think you're the best Haiku-er I have ever read!!! (Can't tell you how many I've read, but it doesn't matter - you're certainly the best!)

I enjoyed all three too!

The third one made me laugh: it was perfect.

Love the snappy tensions mixed with dry humour in all 3 haikus! Great!
