Haikuesday: A Man of Action

Despite ostensibly being a professional writer, Golden Age Superman didn't seem to have much of a way with words.  

Pictured: "a snappy, punchy, prose style"


Although the way he did have was mighty sassy.

And by "sassy", I mean "psychotically violent".

But occasionally, by sheer dint of being super, he would stumble into elocution. For example,in this panel, he improvs an earthy haiku about, um, declaring war against automobiles, I guess. Or something like that. Who really understands why Superman does the things he does?


He's a weird guy. Does the outfit not tell you that?


Yes-sir-ee! I think

I'm going to enjoy this

private little war.


What haiku can you compose to explain Superman's anti-auto mania? Or any else about him, really?
