Old Man Still Fooling Around with Haiku Stuff -
Old Man feels keyboard
Keyboard looks back at Old Man
Keyboard spelling bad
Old man so hungry
Thinks Cheerios taste real good
Forgets bowl and spoon
Old Man has bonsai tree
Small tree growing in small pot
Pot bigger than tree
Old Man thinks of friends
Friends try to think of Old Man
All get big headache
Old Man writes small verse
Small verse needs much larger pot
Old Man thinks "Restroom"
Haiku verse not like small tree
Small pot not like restroom pot
Old Man old, not young
Old Man now happy
Big restroom pot holds small verse
Verse gone makes man smile
World goes in circle
Keyboards straight, not in circle
Old Man understands

@DesirousDreamer - Ms Felicia - I kinda like the things, too. I even gave them a whole new name instead of Haiku... "Sneeze Poems" (for "Achoo !!!" ) A little silly, that, but when you get to be my age, a little silly seems to be most helpful to the person who says such nonsense.
I spent a great deal of work time in the big state of Arizona, but never did make note of "Peoria." My favorite places were Prescott (the state's first capitol) and the Globe-Miami area for its "way up high" situation and the mining industries around there, plus the native Indian tribes with whom I mostly worked in that region. It has been a while since then, but, as I recollect, the Indians were of the Sioux tribe(s). Lots of work and lots of fun, too.
