HAIKU TUESDAY: Long Beach F-Bomb Edition

Photo

Look, I know that if you took the cuss words out of a driver's daily vocabulary, you'd be left with something that looks like a "Mad Libs" sheet, to wit:

I __________ can't __________ believe that that _____________ guy _____________  _________ed the __________ with that ___________  ____________, __________ it!

No race driver ever met an obscene gerund he didn't like, is what I'm saying. So when Marco Andretti let fly with his favorite adverb on live TV, it really shouldn't have shocked anyone.

Far more shocking, I'd think, are his sunglasses. Last time I saw those, they were on Paris Hilton. Gadzooks.

This week's poetry after the jump...

Star-divide

Ridiculous starts.
Drivers didn’t even try.
A labor dispute?

Wilson’s spin cycle.
Nerfed, then equipment failure.
A dizzy driver.

Mayhem on restarts.
But not one double-file.
Cue the clown music.

Kudos, Conweezy!
Maybe now they will replay
Your win, not your wreck.

Oh, E.J., my boy…
With your spins and wrecks, you have
Become a punchline.

Look! It’s Danica!
She did some passing on track
While turning right too!

No worries, Big Bird;
It may not have been a win,
But a strong finish.

Mayor of Hinchtown
Made us say "Oh Canada!"
While PT fumbled.

Newman-Haas Racing
Hasn’t looked so good on track
For a lot of years.

#Pippa500
Not a hashtag anymore.
Celebrate, Pippa!

SCREAM FOR ME, LONG BEACH!

British Spitfire
Number 27 shoots
Down Red Car Death Star

Oh, no Helio
Chrome-horns Powerful teammate
The Captain’s not pleased

Speaking of chrome horns
Paul Tracy gives Simona
An alpine chrome horn

Restraining order
Hitting on a girl half
Your age, Paul Tracy?

The FUBAR’d restarts
Helio’s non-penalty
Yep, Barnhart must go

Shhhh!!! Don’t say a word
Danica Patrick had a
Nice Top-10 finish

City of Long Beach
Give a big shout out to the
Mayor of Hinchtown

Oh, EJ Viso
The perfect imperfection
Of three straight crashes
