    Have at it ladies...........
    Keep adding on and we'll see how many lines we can get...

    Oh great sweeper, though in my town you suck (it's a vacuum)
    You keep my bike free of sharp things that get stuck

    It is your presence that I would really like to be around

    Sand and other stuff that could cause me to crash.

    You're swirling the debris and sweeping everything
    And since you're not a snowplow, YOU ARE A SIGN OF SPRING!!!

    Street sweeper haiku

    Roaring down the street
    Debris replaced by noises
    And then by smoothness
    Speed comes from what you put behind you. - Judi Ketteler
