Beet Powder Haikus

want vegan jello
hmmm. orange or raspberry?
let's make raspberry

set up overnight
today, ready for eating
tony had a bowl

oops, look at the box
beet powder makes red color
tony can't have that!

allergic to beets
makes him really jittery
what will happen now?

tony starts to talk
very fast. makes no damn sense.
running around, too

he acts just like me
after i have had eight cokes
beet powder is bad!

let's go for a ride
maybe side effects will fade
if we go somewhere

uh oh what is this?
HOA is warning us
can't leave trash can out

all of our neighbors
have warning tickets on cans
must put them inside

tony has a fit!
calls the HOA on phone
screaming and yelling

HOW ABOUT INSTEAD
OF GIVING US DUMB TICKETS
MOW THE FREAKING GRASS!

WHY DO I PAY YOU
MONEY EVERY SINGLE MONTH
NOT TO DO YOUR JOB?

on and on it went
for over twenty minutes
screaming on the phone

i got on my phone
called tony's twin brother john
so he could listen

ha ha ha ha ha!
ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!
ha ha ha ha ha!

we had a good laugh
while the screaming continued
at the HOA

beet powder wore off
civilized conversation
began to appear

john and i got bored
not funny without screaming
we hung up our phones

today, we learned this:
nothing with beets for tony
unless we need laughs.

best entry evar!
other bloggers just quit now
this one can't be topped.

(Reminds me of my favorite episode of Felicity, when Noel took "smart powder" to help him cram for exams...)

That's exactly what it's like. Noel and "smart powder". I wasn't as manic as that, but it was only beet powder. The one time I had beets, it was pretty bad.

We should slip Beet Powder in Tony's dinner every night beginning in March. He can come down and take the midnight shift with the baby!

That was completely
haikulicious, and I think
you should win a prize.

Also kinda reminds me of the Saved By The Bell episode when Jesse took uppers to study and ran around screaming and crying "I'm so excited! I'm so excited!"
