Haiku Madness Part Deux

Which made him quite sad
We need less sadness today
What a worthy goal

What a worthy goal -
To arc it in from half-court
With nothing but net.

With nothing but net
I scooped up a goldfish from
My aquarium

My aquarium
hasn’t ever been home to
sparrows in moonlight

Sparrows in moonlight.
So repetitive. No more
sparrows in moonlight!

sparrows in moonlight
Bald eagles in the wind and
Plovers on the beach

Plovers on the beach
Didn’t see that one coming
A lot gets by me

A lot gets by me
I’m kind of oblivious
Did you say something?

Did you say something?
Sorry, I must have missed it;
haiku distracts me.

Haiku distracts me
From my tanking investments
But not quite enough

But not quite enough
Notice 'bout Nat. Haiku Day
It was yesterday!

It was yesterday!
And I forgot to call you.
Happy Birthday – late.

Happy Birthday – late
I forgot to check Facebook
My memory sucks

My memory sucks
Eggs!! “Happy Easter weekend!”
The bunny elates.

The bunny elates
but does not deflate, unlike
Die Fledermaus, see?

Die Fledermaus , see
that’s German opera and
A Tick character

A Tick character
like Batmanuel or Arthur
is just played for laughs

Is “just played for laughs”
Enough? It lifts my heart to
Hear: “It’s a Yule Tide!”

Hear “It’s a Yule Tide!”
When they’re all saying “Roll Tide!”
It’s embarrassing

It’s embarrassing
to show up for Christmas with
eighteen yarmulkes
