There must have been something in the water..
Last month, when i suffered from a case of Limerick madness, Nick Paumgarten, in Brooklyn, was going mad too,
only his madness expressed it self in other ways, till he started with haiku's (we had a haiku thread going too!) and then there was haiku madness in his neighborhood.

you can read all about it in the link to this weeks New Yorker. (a blurb, not a full article)
a few of his haiku's ..

You from New Jersey
honking in front of my house
in your S.U.V.

Terrorism is
a Lincoln Continental
leaning on the horn.

Smoking cigarettes
blasting Hot 97
futilely honking.

Oh, forget Enron,
the problem around here is
all the damn honking.
