Bicycle shopping?
Get a bicycle trailer!
That's one solved problem.

I am sorry about that.
I wish it never happened to you
So you would not create

such an art work to put this
great effort of yours in here.!



p.s. I love haikus. It's my life.

so much effort, dear gino,
yet still quite useless.

You did not jinx me
No punctures today (so far).
My bike does not fold

I might get this one
be handy for the spare wheels
(might need a ladder)

those pages have temp-
orarily exceeded
their data transfer

limits. it's not a very
poetic thing to happen.

very annoying
They were some weird bicycles ....
I hope they come back

----

So ... how is your ear?
Does the bubbling continue?
I had eye probs once.

They gave me eye drops
to dilate just one pupil ...
no sight for a week!

Top tip - don't get ill
And if you have to get ill -
then make it simple.

a penny farthing
i can easily picture,
not the four-wheeler.

i remain deaf, thanks,
but the bubbling's less frequent.
bubbles are trubble.

i must wait two weeks
before i see the doctors.
then i will know all.

***

i once paid a man
to fire lasers at my eyes.
a risky process.

as a musician,
i took more care of my ears.
i wrapped them up warm.

now, in silence, i see all.
poetic justice, i guess.

what awesome logic
if I had no left eardrum
i could not hear you

hey that's not so bad
you tend to annoy me much
deafness would kick ---

I think i'll do it
mom, where are those big scissors
want to join the sane

rock and roll, what the?
they sing songs with hard guitar
after the show, sex

that's what it's about
care-free about their lyrics
just want drugs and girls

who cares about sense
just wailing into the mike
riots after show

thirty years later
has anything changed in Rock?
no, look, Mick Jaggers

him and his pal Keith
sixty years old, still rockin
but it ain't fun now




i wrote some haiku
about the things I ponder
it's kind of weird, eh?
