Revenge of the Second
City will be covering
Springfield budget time.
Chicago voters
Should know how they are getting
Hosed. To that end, haiku.
As budget wrangling
Progresses, legislators
Will keep us apprised.
How awesome is it
"Governor Blagojevich"
= seven syllables?
Also very awesome
Is that five syllables are:
Michael Madigan
Michael Madigan
Governor Blagojevich
Round Six: Fight!
Springfield is crazy
Where reason goes to hide
Lawmakers: find it!
Our correspondents
For this budget process
John Fritchey (D), Greg Harris (D)
I was not biased
Could not find Republicans
Willing to haiku.
Hon. Greg Harris, D-Chicago:
I push my green switch
Rules amendment woe
Should have just flushed
Hon. John Fritchey, D-Chicago:
Predictions Begin
Legislative Haiku Man
Keen Insights Abound
Democrat Gridlock
Budget Battle Continues
Summer in Springfield
Fitzgerald Rolls On
Government is Not Yet Clean
Indictments to Come
BONUS:
Cub Fans Get Their Day
No Season of Discontent
This Will Be the Year

Explaining budget processes through Haiku? This should be interesting--and challenging.
I will be surprised if any Springfield legislators can sustain describig the legislative process through haiku.
