A Haiku: Holiday...


I am going on Holiday this weekend with my wife, sans Rugrats. I am joyful. Real men are able to express themselves in verse. I give to you my Haiku: Holiday...

(That wasn't the Haiku. I was just warming up. This is the Haiku.)

(Here we go.)

(Ok... Now!)

(3, 2, 1, Blast off!)

Holiday: A Haiku...

Packing bags. Sounds that deafen.

Tiny human mosquitoes whine, my patience boil.

Empty terminal packed with anticipation.

Liquid remedy soothes my soul.

Arrival, newness, crisp, clean, silence.

Holy shit! Look at the size of that bed.

Beach, bacon, Dreams of Mojito. Passion, if only for six minutes. Ouch! My back. Bliss.

Steel drums, Bronze, native skin. Native tongue...

Paradise.

Florida?

The End.


** I'm not a total ass. I know this technically isn't a Haiku. So if you're Japanese and your great great great great great great uncle invented the Haiku, no offense.

We are vacationing in Florida next week. I plan on memorizing your Haiku (line 7) for future reference if need be.

Enjoy. Relax. Forget the kids. Keep the cell off and leave the hotel phone with the babysitters...the parents. Enjoy the moment. Enjoy the passion. Ronni, watch your back. Leave the trapeze at home. Enjoy the wine. the pool. the food. Enjoy the whole time together and savor the moments.

Why not call it "dog"gerel instead of haiku?
We are talking "bitches", right?

EdenSky said...

That is the most poetic fucking thing I've ever read. Lucky bastard.

Kate said...

You're a poet and you know...aaaah, screw it... have a wonderful time!

Sounds like fun to me! Enjoy your trip!

Have a great trip. I love getting up in a hotel and heading down to breakfast buffet. Everything just tastes so much better to me when I'm on vacation!

dad in training said...

I love, love, love the holiday trips without the little ones, even for just a weekend. Enjoy!

Gaston Studio said...

LOL, and I'm sure a well deserved vacay for the two of you; have fun!

Left you something at my place; please come by to pick up.

Nothing beats dreaming of Mojitos, except maybe drinking them. :)

WeaselMomma said...

Have a great time and don't do anything I wouldn't do (that really leaves your options open).

Theresa said...

How funny, the picture of the Japanese temple is my screen saver. Birds of a feather...

Have a great trip!

Out-Numbered said...

Thanks to all. I will drink enough Vodka for each and every one of you to get completely wacked. Watch for a new Out-Numbered on Monday. I'll be posting for Momversation...

PJ Mullen said...

Bacon and Mojitos, sounds like a great combination!

surprised mom said...

Have a wonderful vacation! Sounds like you picked a great spot. BTW, I liked your poem, even if wasn't officially Haiku.

Mommy With a Penis said...

Sitting here unshowered

surfing...the web

inhaling stale house odors

(perhaps a poop bomb in the kid's shorts)

visions of diaper rash cream

drinking Metamusal

Jealousy in check

Nothing bronze here

Oh man, I envy you. Although I probably shouldn't since I just came back from a five-year-wedding-anniversary including TWO kid-free nights in a hotel in the heart of Brussels. Only actually that was last September.

Momo Fali said...

I am way jealous. Of your holiday AND your haiku skills.

Vodka Mom said...

I was going to say something incredibly clever, and then I saw the title "Fun in the Crapper" and decided you HAD to be talking about kindergarten, so I'm off to read that MUST READ.

nic @mybottlesup said...

hope you get to touch some breasts.... BREASTS.

Court said...

Hope you enjoy it, any vacation without kiddos is a great one in my book.
