My husband's mistress
Has a broad stern, lists to port.
I am not jealous.

Ron's stolen verse,

"I have no mistress
Thus, drink, race, drink, dine, drink, play
Now are you jealous?"

Yuk, yuk and tee hee
Okay, that is all I'll write
Promise no more verse.

Another victim.
Keel scrapes over Guthrie's Ledge.
More mussels get crunched.


Ah, there's a shortcut,
Said our Commodore Leo.
Stuck in sand again.

On rusted trailer
Crufty fiberglass hull waits
Amid trees new wood
Cats, Coffee, Chocolate - Vices to live by.

Neil Gordon: Haiku police here.

Sir, you are one syllable short in your second line.

If you do not produce it immediately your poetic license will be revoked.

If I had poetic license, I would have been within my rights to omit the offending syllable.

Thanks for the warning, I rather be short hauled than keel hauled, any day.
