"Haikus are easy
But sometimes they don't make sense.
Refrigerator."
(Spotted on a T-shirt somebody was sporting around campus. If that doesn't send the poet in you into a fit of hysterical giggling, I don't know what will. Um, you do know the rules of haiku-writing, right?)
I've heard that one before... see, there's this kid, Johnny, and he collects silly sayings and any time there is a lull in conversation, he pipes up with something. And this one time, we were discussing hemiolas, and after about half an hour, another kid finally admitted that he didn't know what a hemiola was. So, Eddie were kinda embarrassed and everything went quiet. Then Johnny stood up and quoted that hiaku at the top of his lungs like he was a Roman senator...
ReplyDeleteGood memories. And my muse is rolling around in hysterical laughter, for your information.
