Continuing on my poetry theme, I wanted to share this delightful recent discovery. As the friend who forwarded the website wrote, “poems, jewish stuff, making fun of glenn beck…I assume you were already aware?” I was not!
According to their email blast, “Jewish Funds for Justice staged the Internet’s first “Twitterstorm” last week, flooding Glenn Beck’s Twitter account with some 3,000 haiku – Tweeted one by one, minute by minute – in support of social justice.” This was in response to Bleck’s (that was originally a typo, but on second thought seems apropos) tirade on churches that preach social justice, see here.
There’s now a website, Haik U Glenn Beck, where you can peruse the many, many haiku collected, as well as post your own. Criticizing Bleck via Twitter, in verse form, seems about on par with the level of discourse he deserves.
A few highlights:
The Bible without
Talk of social justice is
Many blank pages
Glenn Beck needs a hug
Oh wait, did I say a Hug?
I meant he needs to shut up.
Hurling expensive
coffee at the expensive
TV screen now, Ahhh.
