Haiku Madness Part Deux

Anti-viral meds
Are why my TikTok vids are
Going nowhere fast

Going nowhere fast
Was Alice. The Red Queen said
To run twice as fast.

To run twice as fast
will get you sweating much more.
That’s good for your heart!

That’s good for your heart.
But no eggs, cheese, marbled steaks?
I’d rather be dead!

I’d rather be dead
than fail to use the proper
haiku format, pal!

Haiku format, pal-
-omino horses run through
Fall leaves on the path.

Fall leaves on the path.
Winter arrives on the train.
Spring is still at home.

Spring is still, at home
Now that all the birds are gone.
I think we messed up.

I think we messed up
We put undies on over pants
Hey, it’s a new look

Hey, it’s a new look:
scuba outfit with top hat,
lei, kilt, wooden clogs.

Lei, kilt, wooden clogs,
Are things my forefathers wore.
Yes, I’m a mongrel.

Yes, I’m a mongrel.
I am not a pedigree.
Mixing can be fun.

Mixing can be fun
Now add some water to your
Cement overshoes

“Cement overshoes;”
Scotty mis-spoke to Krako:
“Concrete galoshes.”

Concrete galoshes?
I prefer concrete canoes.
They’ll get you farther.

They’ll get you farther
Running shoes, College degrees,
And, of course, Sherpas

And, of course, Sherpas
are part of any well-planned
Mt. Everest climb.

Mt Everest climb
Cancelled after climbing team
Come to their senses.

Come to their senses
and come to the islands on
their next vacation.

Their next vacation
Is often booked before folks’
Last one is paid for
