Search string house haiku
Some people see poetry in the search string phrases that people use to find the site. Though I have to admit..."smelly drains" does not inspire me to write poetry, usually.
However, in the spirit of bringing a little culture to our modest site, I have composed some "Search String Haiku" for you.
For those of you who don't remember, Haiku is a specific kind of poetry from Japan with many, many rules. I always unintentionally break the rules because I can't remember them all. Shirao wrote haiku poetry and he seems to be no stranger to the frustrations of house cleaning either :)
Harukaze ya hai makichirasu sakuotoko
The spring wind;
A hired hand
Is scattering ash.
Cho tobu ya araiagetaru nagashimoto
A butterfly
Is floating
Above the cleaned up sink.
So, after scanning the search strings for our site statistics, I offer you these humble poems. Anything in italics, I added myself.
Steam radiators...
How do I stop knocking pipes?
Furnace knocking noise.
Getting raccoons out
Catching squirrels in the house
Do you squash spiders?
An exhausted house.
Bearing the load of the walls
Its nerves are frayed wires
Smelly basement drain
Fumes from melted spatula
Need a kitchen fan
Silent paint removed
Peel away pain remover
“life glue” also good
Okay, your turn. Here are some phrases from the site statistics page. Get creative! Get nutty! Humor us so we don't feel so stranded in here!
