Some of you may have seen this on my Facebook Page, but I was told by several people that it needed to be reposted to my blog in honor of Fair Housing Month. I post this collection in it's current condition, but if you want to watch it grow, you'll have to keep track of it here. You can also subscribe to my page on Facebook and, for the month of April, you'll find that I'm posting a FH haiku each day. (Did I mention that April is also National Poetry Month? It's nice to combine these two... like chocolate and peanut butter!)
Also, bear in mind that I started this on a Friday afternoon when my brain was fried, AND I blame the fine folks at Grace Hill for the whole thing.
And now, for your reading amusement, my Fair Housing Haiku Collection
Though I might wonder
There are things I can't ask you
Due to Fair Housing
Where did you come from
is a question I can't ask
Inside I wonder
Race is protected
Can't tell the WASPs "No"
Got to rent to them
Green stands by its self
the only color that counts
in Fair Housing Law
Worship Potatoes
It does not matter to me
Still will rent to you
Disability
Most violations filed
Be mindful, people
Family status
Can't kick kids out of the pool
Successful Lawsuit
Guys and Dolls - Good show!
Protected classes for us
Gender should not count
If you can pay rent
and pass a criminal check
your home is with us
*Bonus Stanzas*
In Advertising
Please show some diversity
Or HUD will get you
Stay off HUDs hot list
Not a good place to reside
They don't bring cookies
Fair Housing Month
Why don't we have a ribbon?
Someone get on that
