Haiku

You can’t

explain

the world in

Haiku.

It’s more complicated

than that.

 

If you know everything,

seventeen syllables

are just not enough!

 

So, I like to

break the rules

and write my Haiku in

eighteen syllables.

 

Oh ****

If I ever write

another Haiku,

shoot me

for Chrissake

and put me out of my misery.

There. That’s thirty four syllables.

**** it.

And there’s two more

just for the hell of it.

Now I feel a lot better.

I’m free.
