Haiku Madness Part Deux

You still need money
under capitalism;
I would like lots more!

I would like lots more
Haiku. Add a drawing, they
All become Haiga.

All become “Haiga.”
Never heard of that! You learn
new things ev’ry day.

New things ev’ry day
are being destroyed before
they are discovered

They are discovered
Doing things they should not do.
No one is surprised.

No one is surprised
when the birthday boy hosts his
own surprise party

Own surprise party?
And who did you buy it from?
Didn’t know you could.

Didn’t know you could
And still don’t know if you should
But I guess you will.

But I guess you Will,
or do you go by William?
Anything but Bill!

“Anything but bill!”
I whisper to myself as
I sort my new mail

I sort my new mail,
hoping for a love letter.
Hey, look! I got six!

Hey, look! I got six!
Then I recount my fingers.
Oh no, only five.

Oh no, only five.
But six women are needed

Out of play: are you going to fill in the third line?

Aargh.


Oh no, only five.
But six women are needed
To drain the barrel.

To drain the barrel,
I decided to simply
turn it upside-down

Turn it upside down.
I did and got sick from gin.
I’d followed his lead.

I’d followed his lead
Through the water pipes of Flint
To all the households.

To all the households
In the shire: taxes are due.
Please prepare chickens.

“Please prepare chickens,”
said Julia Child to the
TV audience.
