Haiku: the Universal S.O.S.

You think Haikuesday is silly, eh? You think it's all my head, huh? All I know is, when the DC Universe itself cries out for aid, it does so

in haiku (JSA 77) ...

"We need help before
the universe dies before
reality ends."


Well, THAT's creepy.

So Airwave and Donna Troy zip off to help the Universe in Its Entirety, I guess. The issue was billed as a Day of Vengeance tie-in, but it felt more like a Rann-Thanagar thing. Regardless, when the Universe cries for help in haiku, you know it's serious.

What haiku can you compose to sympathize with the plight of the DC Universe, comment on the stupidity of Hal's idea of slicing New Chronus in half, or wonder at the concept of "Airwave to the rescue"?

    How about this:

    If there were decent
    creative teams on the flag-
    ships then: no "All-Stars"

    Of course we would be
    free from the creepy high school
    janitor Batman.

    What's the deal with that?
    Calling Robin retarded?
    Out of character...

    Airwave! Is he a
    savior like Barry Allen
    or OMAC fodder?

    Universe ending?
    Not before Aquaman gets
    giant squid lovin'

    Diana dying?
    Looks like Donna is taking
    Over the lasso.

    Batman's goin' nuts.
    Who will become the new knight?
    Dick Grayson will. Yawn.

    Golden Age Kal-L
    May be behind the Crisis?
    Ask again later.

    Could Power Girl be
    the sole survivor of the
    destroyed multiverse?

    Anti-Monitor
    is the unseen hand behind?
    Seems too obvious.

    Infinite Crisis:
    the most fun I've had reading
    DC in a while.

    Ted believed there was
    A conspiracy at work.
    Maybe he was right.

    Maser belonged to
    the Captains of Industry.
    Hal'd rather forget.

    I smell fried chicken!
    Will Condor's corpse get angel
    lust? Be still my heart!

    I have always thought
    That Air Wave was kinda hot.
    Uh! Built-in e-stim.

    The Flashes never
    Survive Crises now do they?
    ¡Andalé Wally!

    Airwave! Airwave! He's
    our man, if he can't do it,
    the Universe dies!

    ...

    It's down to Airwave?
    I don't think I'll be making
    any longterm plans.

    When Guy Gardner said,
    "Maser? I hardly know 'er!"
    Everybody laughed.
