Musings from my desk

A while ago I wrote a series of Twitter posts (remember tweets?) declaring my love of beans in the form of haiku.

I decided to re-post them here, because they ring as true now as they did back then.


On a plate of beans,
You may just find a window
To eternal bliss


I pray that one day
I get a fortune cookie
That has beans inside.


Beans are eternal.
That means they last forever.
Yeah, no fucking duh.


Loneliness is a
Struggle for anyone. But,
Beans will make you whole.


I do not look down
On beans from a can, for they
Are still delicious.


Frijoles para
Vida y felizidad,
Para siempre.


Some people go to
A church to worship their god.
I go to praise beans.


Refried beans are great.
Seriously, what the fuck,
How are they this good?


Follow contentment:
All paths to joy lead through beans.
The first step is yours.


I do not need a
Man after midnight; Gimme
Gimme gimme… beans!


Money cannot buy
Happiness, but it can buy
The next best thing: beans.


Others wait, beans act.
Others hesitate, beans lead.
Others fall, beans rise.


Pictures of dogs are
Adorable, but my heart
Wants pictures of beans


My favorite music?
Simple. A can opener,
Opening bean cans


There is no ailment
For which doctors have found a
Better cure than beans


Eyes are the window
To the soul. Beans are windows
To the universe


Cuando comes los
Frijoles, entonces ves
La luz, la verdad


The beans on my lips
Are like an evanescent
Kiss from a lover


Until you know beans,
You cannot know truth. Through beans,
You will be made pure.


Beans beans beans beans beans,
Beans beans beans beans beans beans beans,
Beans beans beans beans beans
