Cheney + Haiku = Cheneyku; Update: More added

posted at 4:32 pm on May 21, 2009 by Jim Treacher

***

Yeah, I shot that guy
And I had some heart attacks
And I kept you safe

***

I’m bald and morose
I don’t look good in swim trunks
Eight years, no attacks

***

Dear Los Angeles:
We stopped an assault on you
“Hey, thanks” will suffice

***

Look out, terrorists!
Obama’s secret weapon:
Approval ratings

***

Every time I sneer
Khalid Sheikh Mohammed faints
Try that one, Barack

***

We left you a mess
You’re doing all the same things
Now they’re not messy?

***

Bronx synagogues burn
Because of waterboarding
On Bizarro World

***

Redefine “torture”
To mean anything you want:
Waterboarding worked

***

Hello, Jon Stewart
You cried on September 12th
But haven’t since: Why?

***

Remember, lefties
I’m not running for office
Your polls make me laugh

***

And, in the interest of equal time, here are some cheneyhaterku:

***

Didn’t stop Atta!
Did too much to stop his pals!
I believe both things

***

Wish you’d go away
How dare you remind us all
You stopped terrorists

***

Heat doesn’t melt steel
Fighting terror causes it
Up is really down

***

Earth to Dick Cheney:
Why no new 9/11?
They don’t feel like it

***

KSM’s damp face
Didn’t do us any good
Worst war crime ever

***

Follow #cheneyku and #cheneyhaterku on Twitter. And remember the #pelosiku craze from way back last week? You can relive those fond memories here.

Also, if you didn’t check out “Obama’s White House Correspondents’ Dinner speech from an alternate universe where he actually has a sense of humor about himself” because I wrote it on a Saturday and you have a life, check it out here.

Update: A few more cheneyku:

***

9/11 2:
Egocentric Boogaloo
Starring Obama

***

Colin’s not happy
His Republican Party
Always sides with Dems

***

Arterial plaque?
Don’t make me smirk, it ain’t $#!+
Arugula? Yuck!

***

Barack’s terror plan:
“Preventative detention”
Look out, Rush and Sean

***

I like Biden’s style
He thinks “jobs” is three letters
Unlike “KSM”

***

When you attacked me
I disclosed my location:
All up in your face

I smell a poetry collection series in the works!

My cheneyhaterku:

Shut up, Darth Cheney/Nine-one-one was inside job/Rosie told me so!

Michelle on May 21, 2009 at 4:37 PM

My god, Treacher, you should be the Poet Laureate of America.

Dick is so joyful
But it’s not easy to see
He doesn’t smile much

Dark Master Cheney
Needs no shotgun to kill you
The Force strong with him

Hollowpoint on May 21, 2009 at 4:40 PM

I kept you all safe
After my three heart attacks
Biden Takes my Place?

portlandon on May 21, 2009 at 4:40 PM

That was beautiful, man. Makes me want to shed a tear, flick my BIC, raise my single flame high into the air as I pay tribute to those that tortured those nuts into spilling their Yellow Jihadist Guts. And to the stinging insects that made the terrorists wet themselves. Here’s too you, stinging insect.

Thank you to Dick Cheney and George W. Bush for keeping us safe all those years.
I weep for the safety of our nation under the age of stupidity that will end abruptly in 2013.

Make me think of Kennedy

Cheney’s Memory
It has records of success
O Forgets Gates Name

portlandon on May 21, 2009 at 4:43 PM

Bloodletting ensued
as VP Cheney let loose
with reason and sense

The Precedent reeled
from the power of debate
that Cheney unfurled
