Haiku Tuesday: The "I Feel Like Death" Edition

Photo

Today's Haiku Tuesday is a bit abbreviated because I've been ill for two days. And by abbreviated, I mean SHORT. Not like making the title H.T. Just wanted to be clear on this.

Now look at what you made me do. I was trying to make this short and now I'm two paragraphs into this without having done a single poem. I'M A SICK MAN. Seriously - I don't want to go into details, but let's just say that I am best friends with Pepto Bismol right now. And that it's probably not wise of you to ask me to say the word "Buick."

Poetry after the jump.

Star-divide

Milka spins again.
Nearly wrecks the field again.
Probation works, folks!

J.R. Hildebrand.
Someone give him a full ride.
You won't regret it.

Taku and braking.
Two things that do not mesh well.
Rides through the gravel.

Look out for Alex.
He looked pretty FAZZT out front.
Let's see it some more.

Cue Ashley's dancing.
Her husband Frico wins big.
Earns the Chipple Crown.

Worst cage fight ever:
Wilson taking on Briscoe.
Keep it on Twitter.

A driver's racetrack.
Mid-Ohio fun to race.
Not so fun to watch.

Hunter-Reay's da man.
Making his teammates look bad.
His ride still may end.

Haiku, Licensed to ill

Good race, Tag and Sim
Thanks to you two the race was
Kind of watchable

Push to Pass a joke
With only a slight push there
Isn’t much passing

Forget Push to Pass
NITRO! Like Ivan Stewart’s
Off-Road Arcade game!

My new garage will
Have racing stuff, but needs a
Simona poster

And you thought the race
At Mid-Ohio was bad?
Wait for Snore-oma….

Bob Jenkins at home
Says “SON-O-MA….SIM-ON-A”
Practice makes perfect

NASCAR invading
Our race tracks and dates? Do they
See us as a THREAT?

Just one more twisty
Before the insane ovals
Red Car Death Star waits….

Moment of Silence
For Twitter War casualty

Nitro!

Danny Sullivan
An asphalt Ivan Stewart
His game: Indy Heat!

(YouTube has a full 3-part playthrough of the arcade version, it’s worth a look.)

Yep

I remember that one, too. Didn’t QUITE like it as much as Off-Road, but Bernard HAS to play it to get the feel of what P2P needs to be; on the edge of out of control.
