Haikus and heavy gunfire

My project blew up today, just in time for me to start a new project Wednesday. Way more money, and, really, that's the only metric that counts in judging the worthiness of temp projects. Other than the money, they are all the same. The work will suck, working conditions will suck, treatment of the temps will suck. But for this coming project, at least, the money won't suck. What else is there? Funny you should ask -- haikus, that's what:
Left shitty project
Are greener pastures ahead?
Yeah, probably not.
Rewarding work now?
You're fucking kidding, aren't you?
Yeah, that's what I thought.
So tomorrow, without work to interfere, I will go to the shooting range and blow up some targets.

Hey, look! I've got shitty-project haikus!

The project I am on sucks. That does not mean that the haikus forthcoming from said project also suck. Test drive this:
New gig sucks real bad
Conditions quite oppressive
At least pay is low

Or this:
Long boring work day
Bamboo under fingernails
Sounds more appealing

Got more:
Eric Burdon sang
Gotta get out of this place
Must've worked here once.
Shitty jobs bring out the poet in me.
