I have no future.

Szechwan takeout food;
Empty cookie saddens me;
Is it all over?

After cheap Szechwan
There is often afterglow,
Heartburn till morning.

observe this omen,
it says: life is not governed
by scraps of paper

except for those scraps
we will need in the bathroom
for the afterglow

Did you check inside
For paper before gulping–
messages from teeth!

I cannot believe
I am the first to say this:
no news is good news!

Much to my surprise,
Alive and well this morning.
Ominous rumbling.

Ominous rumbling
After eating cheap Schezwan
Chefguy’s gonna blow!

:eek:

You have a future
An open and endless dream
Full of varied ends

It sure sounds like you
Shared your Szechwan takeout meal
With the Sex Pistols

Reeking of onions,
Wife breathes softly in my face.
Up at four thirty.

Onion breath is bad
Blow up that bathroom and you
Shall have your vengeance

Wife’s breath in face beats
Three-year-old entering bed
Pull-up needs changing

Pull-up needs changing,
Lie very still, fake sleeping
Don’t move a muscle.

My nose betrays me
Toddler not toilet-trained yet
Cannot be ignored

Understanding this
Reference eludes me so
Please explain yourself.

Lyric reference
For the song God Save The Queen

Nnnnnnnnggg…Nnngg…must.not.be.pedantic…NNggggggggAAAAHHHHHHH!!
NO!

Haiku = JAPANESE!
Fortune cookies are CHINESE.
This is all so wrong!

Ruining this thread,
Inigo should know better.
Be a dick elsewhere.

Better your cookie
Be empty than Emerald
In color like Lake
