Don't mow the snow, Joe!
That's too slow.
Jus' cut the grass, mas' --
Shout, "Tongs, ya bas!"
Alas,
that's sad
and bad
and flatter than a filleted pancake wrapped in a cantaloupe and hurled in
the face of the infinite blizzards still blowing through the corridors of
time,
jimmie.

The above by itself is terrific. Amazing to me how much the "on" and
"in" where they are do for it. Makes a nice haiku into a really
superior one.
