pope john paul II, master of breakdancing: rest in peace

Rejoice 'ku believers, for I, The Haiku Master, am more or less free of the grasp of the insidious video game which has sapped my strength and attention for the past week-plus! Now, stop rejoicing and start mourning -- 'cause my close, personal friend Pope John Paul II has said his last Hail Mary!!

This is truly a devastating loss, loyal readers. For The Deuce (as his close, personal friends called him) was more than just the frontman for the Holy Roman Catholic Empire... he was also Earth's foremost authority on the ancient art of breakdancing! In fact, many experts credit The Deuce's sublime breakdancing abilities with toppling communism, whatever that means.

Many tried, but none were ever able to match his mad skillz on the cardboard mat. With him gone, entire generations of future breakdancers will go without seeing firsthand The Deuce's gravity-defying headspin, and they will be poorer for it!

Okay, I'm off to bash out the long-awaited third chapter in "Drunk in the Heart of Texas." Try to stay out of trouble until then.

Best,
