I was inspired by the influx of Euro-trash that infests my small town every Spring:

Tourists stop and gape.

They take up all the sidewalk.

I want to shove them.

First commute to work

A special greeting awaits

Poop on subway stairs

Ace, those are hilarious, but Haiku needs to be three lines, with 5, 7, and 5 syllables.
