"Honku" - Express your cycle-rage in haiku format

Dave Morrison · 2003-07-03T04:01:15+00:00

I thought people here would enjoy these. Go to http://www.honku.org for more good stuff. The story about how this guy started writing these is pretty great... If you really love America, hang that flag on a bicycle Her Ford Explorer on a never-ending quest for a parking spot The evolution of cars is stuck in reverse - dinosaurs now rule Seething in traffic bike-borne I pass you each block we do the same dance Silicon Valley 10% unemployment traffic's much better Alaska's melting – hope your Yukon Denali doubles as a boat. There are only three types of drivers – the insane, the morons, and me That's right, nosepicker the way you are in your car is the way you are The air in Houston - too darn thick to breathe but our sunsets look pretty Ford, GM, Chrysler zero-percent financing - great deal: more traffic Aggro tailgate man next time make it a grande Prozacaccino Let the forest burn the Toyota Sequoia continues to grow Gas-guzzler flying little American flags - the Saudis thank you Is it profiling to say, "Dude in the Hummer is an idiot"? http://www.honku.org

Cadillac truck thing Puffy pink face screaming what? You're still there, I'm gone
Blasting boy racer going bad you win nothing and my stale gum
Pedal fast past cars sweltering on fat black tires fuming motionless

I would like to transpose the nameplates on all of these to say "Yukon Denial".

a few for the romantics:
Two girls in the jeep: Must have thought I was cute-- No honk--but a wave.
Girl in the ragtop-- I almost crashed while staring: A roadway hazard
We shared a few miles-- You were home, and then were gone. Shall we ride again?
