I Feel a Haiku Coming On
Dear Geneva folks, I smell springtime in the air, It's haiku season.
I'm sure you're busy at work and all. But so am I. I have a strict schedule of eating, lying around, scratching myself, engaging in higher education at DePaw University, walking my pet humans, and did I mention scratching myself?
Anyway, you're busy, but you can take a minute or two from working on that awful PowerPoint presentation or that paperwork that's stacking on your desk to write a haiku, can't you?

There's a cliche here,
I don't know what it might be,
Some privacy please.

Fox in Good Templar,
To me he smells like Old Spice,
MUST TEAR HIM TO SHREDS!

Master mows the lawn,
Two times a week in springtime,
What is he thinking?

While licking myself,
I tasted that fish I rolled in,
Why humans like sushi?

I am a dog but,
I feel a haiku coming,
Blame Masaoka
