Billy Bob Thornton in haiku

For those of you who still haven’t seen the amazingly painful interview with Jian Gomeshi on QTV, go here: http://www.youtube.com/qtv. Here is my attempt to capture this unique moment in Canadian history with a series of haikus…

Billy Bob Thornton
or as he’s perhaps best known
Angelina’s ex

Oh poor Boxmasters
your rent is now being paid
by a crap frontman

Jian Gomeshi
seventeen syllables can’t
describe your coolness

Watching an old man
throw a tantrum like a kid
nothing is sadder

Oh William Robert
the only non-actor with
2 films out this fall

“Struggling musician”
with his own three page rider
the best of both worlds?

You and Tom Petty
similar but for one thing:
Tom Petty can sing.

Dropped from the tour now,
Willie Nelson and Ray Price
don’t need your bullshit.

her blood in a vial
as vampire, not too shabby
as human, you suck

Jian and Billy
surely we can settle this…
perhaps a drum-off?

Ya see, Billy Bob,
Canadians LOVE gravy.
We just don’t like YOU.

Next Gig:

No shows booked at the moment.
