Along a similar vein from the previous Foreign Service Haiku's, these are some Consular Haiku's:
A common label
Conoffs stamp visas only
What else could there be?
They try to uphold
"Open Doors, Secure borders"
and smile at the jerks
The angry AmCit
We do our best to help him.
And yet he fusses.
Applicants all know
when the Vice Consul goes "Hmmm"
She's going to say "no".
The high priest of "No"
Sits behind bullet proof glass
“Visa? Sorry, no”.
You spot a bad case
the girl's planning to marry
a man from on-line
Pounding on the glass
"Hurry up! Where's the people?"
That colleague has gone

Nice
The officer smiles,
the applicant frets; just a
verse for the blog, though.

Thank you everyone!
I think there is a lot of good fodder for Foreign Service Haiku out there.
