Common Ground Haikus

Taxes seem boring,
but are very rewarding.
People leave, all smiles.

Red light! Green light! Go!
Coloring, playing, kickball.
Reliving our youth.

 Break time is over.
Doing taxes, help the poor.
Blue 4 here we go!

 Basking in the sun,
McKinley Park Rose Garden.
Pruning rose bushes.

Drove back from dinner,
But there was a road block.
Herd of 30 elk.

Worked at a food bank,
Broccoli bagging races.
The best ISP.

No Shave November,
hairy people everywhere.
Saving h2o.
