This Week in Haiku

Fretting about the drought,

on a freeway in the rain,

everyone's an asshole.

but lower in calories

so I eat seven

can buy liquor and gamble.

Still, life skills suspect.

I'm no heat lightweight
but I can't stand Sriracha.

Drank too much coffee.

Gelson's on way to work.

Bathroom very clean.

Husband is miser.

Hides napkin to use again.

I throw it away.

Kids are coming home

I miss them so much that I

will gladly wash clothes.

with quarters placed in meter.

Husband is bereft.

With no GPS

my kids would surely perish.

Maps like ancient runes.

Drinking with girlfriends,

technically we're women.

We cackle like hens.
