Writer's Wednesday

The Mama Kat Writer's Challenge is upon me once more. The challenge for this week offered the following choices:
1.) Tell us about a lie you told that you later regretted.
2.) Choose a task you'd like someone to complete and write a poem asking them to do it.
3.) Describe a talent you have.
4.) Write a list of ten things on your mind this week.

I decided to do the poems of request for my challenge this week. To make it really challenging for the wordy person that I am, I decided to do them in variant Haiku style. (I disclaim all responsibility for anyone who dies reading this!)

On the subject of getting the train whistles to calm down:
Sorrowfully wailing
Noisy train near
No whistling here

On the federally mandated water treatment:
Sparkling water clear
Federally mandated
You pay for it
-or-
Eight million years OK
One senate session not
Idiots abound

Now it is up to you to do your own challenge.
