I have no worthwhile haikus to contribute this month. I am so sorry I’ve failed you. Actually I don’t *really* care, but I want to be consistent – so please feel free to add your own in comments as usual. Also, I should mention that I’ve spent most of the last few months on vacation and/or working very hard, so basketball has taken a backseat lately to exploring new restaurants in big (actual) cities and bitch-slapping deadlines that try to bring me down. Sorry, but that’s just the way it is. Until we get some momentum on the upcoming, slow/late starting season, my haikus will be more like hai-poos. Oh, me.
We’ll start out easy:
Hot but not humid
Typical Phoenix summer
Still waiting for rain
Haboob…pff…nonsense
Come on, it’s just blowing dust
Phew, I wasn’t here
It rained after all!
But only for ten minutes
And that’s all we’ll get
Then add some Suns references:
When I heard the news
(NBA released schedule)
I smashed butterflies
No October games…
Halloween will take their place
As significant
It is just so sad
Paychecks will go missing soon
Blank televisions
Our team grows older
Grant Hill, Steve Nash, Vince Carter
Waiting for resolve
And to wrap it up:
Unless it was one of those
Britney Spears moments
Jim Coughenour
Our resident thesaurus
Verbose and prolix…
I hope my fellow BSotS are enjoying summer, despite the current state of NBAffairs.
