Haiku Madness Part Deux

Richmond Highway One
Is in Prince William County,
State of Virginia

State of Virginia
Is home of the world’s only
Oyster museum

Oyster muse? Um, like
Venus on a scallop shell?
Clio as a pearl.

Foul!

“Oyster Muse? Um” would be ok.

Adding “like” is no good.

mmm

But that’s only 4 syllables.

(not trying to be a haiku Nazi, just clarifying the rules)

(rules which, admittedly, were not previously spelled out with regard to this)

mmm

Oyster museum
[should somehow lead to that there]
Clio as a pearl.

Clio as a Pearl
Ivanka’s deposition
Access takes money

Access takes money
But backstage access? Just say
I am with the band

I am with the band.
We were playing, “Orpheus.”
Was that an iceberg?

Was that an iceberg
most unseen under water
or all in plain sight?

Or all in plain sight
But some hidden in shadows
Then none seen at all

Then none seen at all!
Where did all the Romulans
go? Cloaking device.

Go, cloaking device
Do that thing that you do best
Can you see me now?

Can you see me now?
Nowhere Man, can you see me
At all? -John Lennon

At all John Lennon
Concerts all we were saying
Was give peace a chance

Was give peace a chance
Only good for the sixties?
We could use some now.

We could use some now
But the neighbors bought it all -
They hoard and don’t share

They hoard and don’t share.
Zombie apocalypse stock’d.
Covid? No masks on.

Covid, no masks on
Lobsters, scallops, shrimp, and crab
All selfish shellfish
