Haiku

[Keith]

Ouch. Wisdom - don't drop a joint while you're driving.

Especially down tree lined roads, thank you JM

Ah. I was reading that as a bone and socket joint. Now it's clear.

Yes Achebe I did think there might be some confusion still not sure about joint, thanks for commenting. Keith

I'm trying to find a deeper meaning (whatever that means) to the first line, but I can't. A joint is a joint, and dropping it, of all things, is about as stupid as it gets. So that somehow, although on the first read the first line drew me in, on all the later reads it just felt like a drag. Although perhaps the car is already hit, as the joint smokes -- but I don't think the lines' progressing tenses suggest that.

Thank you RN yes not sure it has to be that specific so I may change joint although I was trying to give a reason why the tree had to do the deed. You got me thinking thanks. Keith

.. it just felt like a drag. 

ha..drag 

river's got it though; the first line is slapped in the face by the 2nd and 3rd, like an anti-drug PSA.  strong lines though

Thanks Kolemath I was kinda going for that but not sure it works that well now or indeed makes it as a Haiku, this is what happens when I write shorts after 4 pints of Guinness I should know better. Best Keith
