Haiku Tuesday: Back Home Again...

by Tony Johns on May 11, 2010 2:34 PM EDT in Haiku Tuesday

So it's the Two Weeks of May instead of a whole month, but sentiment aside it's nice to get the juices flowing for another round of the 500-Mile Race.

We've spent the past couple of days working on our SBNation Indy 500 Primer, but Haiku Tuesday waits for no man or meticulously-researched award-worthy article series.

This week's entries after the jump...

Percussion grenade.
Signals Indy gates open.
Explodes in my heart.

Time for the Fast Nine.
Will it bring more eyes this year?
If not, chuck it, guys.

Inclement weather.
Rain always is a buzzkill.
No tornadoes, please.

PETA hates the milk.
Claims it is cruel to the calves.
One sip is ten grand.

Beat the Indy heat.
Take a washcloth for your neck.
Soak in cold water.

Indiana home.
For my heart; not my stomach.
Home is Mug 'N' Bun.

Lots of girls this year.
Silvestra de Simona
Is not one of them.

Will Arute be there?
I can't imagine Indy
With no Leatherman.

Greatest Spectacle.
It will always be the race.
Sorry, NASCAR fans.

Great Haikus!! We do Haikus at a particular Bonspiel that we curl in down in Washington D.C.

More off-week Haiku Blues for you

It’s the Month of May
Track is quiet and empty
More like “Weeks of May”

Five women this year
Only four will make the race
Milka’s time is up

Marty Reid saying
“Silvestra de Simona”
Makes me miss Paul Page

Please God, no Red Car
In victory lane this year
Evens out Duke win

Swiss Miss or Sarah
Winning would rule, and it
Makes Danica STAY

My first 500
Should be better than last two
Brickyard 400s

Bernard says that the
Term “IRL” should die out
Too many demons

Just two more Indys
For the Dallara-Honda
Crapwagon’s last rides

Lotus returns to
Indy. Please Sato, DON’T HURT
THE LOTUS AGAIN

British Racing Green?
Bright Day Glo Red? Petty Blue?
Hot tub time machine???

Duuuuude.

Seriously? I should have YOU doing Haiku Tuesday every week. Stellar!

You are validating my inherent mistrust of strangers.
