Honky-Tonk Haiku
I enjoyed “Versed in Traffic Control” (May 18), which told of a man who plastered haiku-style poems he called “honku” around his neighborhood as a protest against drivers honking their horns. Soon others plastered local lampposts with similar poems. My favorite:
We walk happily
You honk in snarled traffic
Who gets there first? Us!
I would like to share my own poem along these lines. Maybe others will join me. My bumper sign says:
Just back off;
This is as fast
As I plan to go.
