Last week I covered City Council, and it reminded me you can pass the time and convey your feelings about council meetings with simple haikus. For example:

Please no new business
Too much tax increment talk
Are there snacks around?

But a consultant for Austin City Council candidate Randi Shade proved that haikus aren't just for city council meetings. They can be used to reach out to press, as well. Here's his poem for Shade:

Election Day nears
How will we win this campaign?
Free TV should help

So I invite you to spread your news through haiku. The haiku-press-release could be the hottest new hybrid since french fries and ice cream. (You know you love that combo.)

Catie Beck and I decided tonight that you are a nerd and you spend way too much time on this blog.

Sorry, next time I'll post in the form of haiku.
