A Friday Haiku Quickie

I say, "Let's eat cake!"
You say, "Are you kidding me?"
Damn diabetes.





You may commence the beat-poet finger snaps now.

Diabetes Haiku

You may not realize that I write a lot of poetry. I've also been to the National Poetry Slam, competing on Team Delaware this summer. I love to indulge in silly haiku. These are best appreciated by the DiabetesOC. I tried them at an open mic once, but I don't know that everybody "got" all of them. You will. It's good to laugh about your diabetes sometimes.

1.
Cell phones have TVs,
So why can't insulin pumps
Have built-in iPods?

2.
Oh, whiny kid on the
Glucose monitor advert,
Pricks don't hurt THAT much.

3.
Wilford Brimley is
A spokesman for my disease.
Please, no more oatmeal!

4. Sugar-free candy:
Too much of a good thing can
Turn out disgusting.

5.
I promise, if you
Make out with me, you will get
A big sugar high.
