Haiku Madness Part Deux

Plus five syllables
You’re telling me I gotta do
Poetry AND math?

Poetry and math.
That is what separates the
Mensa from the boys.

-“BB”-

Mensa from the boys
and PBK from the girls;
so many smarties!

So many Smarties!
This Halloween sucked. Where’s my
Butterfingers, dude?

Butterfingers, dude!
Do try to be more careful
with grandma’s glassware.

With grandma’s glassware,
you need a diff’rent approach :
you need to use bleach.

You need to use bleach
to be sure to sterilize;
that’s what the doc said

that’s what the doc said
He extols sugar free gum
For those who chew gum

For those who chew gum –
What happens to the used wad?
Underneath the table?

-“BB”-

Under the table*
Illegal payments; also
Hungry dog and cat.


*corrected to five syllables

My bad … I had it in my head as ‘beneath’, which would have kept the correct 5-7-5 scheme.

Carry on.

-“BB”-

Hungry dog and cat
Grub Hub does not deliver
Alpo and 9 Lives

Alpo and 9 Lives
Are out of stock at Chewy
Shortages bite hard.

Shortages bite hard.
Even more so if there are
No good substitutes.

-“BB”-

No good substitutes
For maple syrup, sorry
Mrs. Butterworth!

Mrs. Butterworth
now under review, I see
maybe not P.C.

Maybe not PC
Maybe not a Mac either
Maybe it’s a brick

Maybe it’s a brick
Wall you’re going up against;
but even bricks crumble.

Even bricks crumble
Is not remotely as good
As apple crumble

gahh, apparently I can’t count this morning.
