Six years ago, Brooklynder Brooklynite New Yorker Aaron Naparstek began writing honkus - haikus about cars and traffic - and taping them to lampposts near his Brooklyn home after he discovered that egging honkers from his apartment window was not necessarily the safest approach to dissuading the behavior.
Houstonist feels his pain. There's no shortage of idiots behind the wheel in our fair metropolis. Personally, we favor a potato gun for our road rage retaliation, but it is a bit hard to hold the phone, shift to 5th gear, drink our coffee and drive while firing the potato cannon.
Today's Honku of the Day calls out Houston suggesting that "the smog is the reason we have such beautiful sunsets."
The air in Houston -Here's to you Ms. Driving Way to Slow in the Left Lane:
too darn thick to breathe but our
sunsets look pretty
Road block in the leftAnd we didn't forget about you Mr. Loud Motorcycle Down the Block:
I have wrecked you in my head
Get out of my way
Jackass with Harley
Loudly revving at 7
Turn that shit off now
You Top 10ers should give it a whirl. Honku and share it in the comments and/or tape it to The Lamppost.
