PBS as a whole isn't really known as a live wire of humor or excitement. A pledge drive featuring James Taylor or Downton Abbey marathons is about as wild as they get.
Specifically, the nightly PBS NewsHour is as zany as a retirement community in Del Boca Vista after 7pm, which is why it's odd that the newscast decided to hold a haiku contest recently. Lest you think rules were left open-ended, viewers were invited to submit seventeen syllables of creativity regarding healthcare in America.
Indeed...you just reflexively yawned just now at learning that.
Regardless, haiku were submitted, and the NewsHour selected two winners:
__________
Can’t pay the M.D.,
no money for surgery,
but I can die free!
–Ronnie Dugger
__________
__________
The Health Care Debate
A final insanity
Which no one can win.
–Dorothy Workman
__________
Dugger and Workman won nothing for their effort it seems. Not even a PBS tote bag, and those things are handed out like there was an Amazon Prime sale on them.
