Cutty Sark on fire
Is a dreadful thing, who could
Be so destructive?
Be so destructive
A catch cry of them greenies
So widely heard around
can you count, D? 5 syllables in the last line... were you distracted?
I was certainly extremely distracted however I'd thought I had it right 5 syllables in the last line?
So 1 wide 1 ly 1 heard 1 a 1 round 1 = 6!
Sorry, I didn't count the 'a", thought that was a silent letter?
So widely heard 'round,
Wailing and gnashing of teeth,
I can count to five.
I can count to five.
To six also can I count.
After, of course, five.
After, of course, five
O'clock, I change into my
Spangled evening dress.
It wasn't much help
To know a spangle was just
A word for 'sequin'.
A word for 'sequin'
must be the world's strangest start
for this darn haiku.
For this darn haiku
conventional words are made
unconventional.
Unconventional
methods create new ways to
find new solutions.
Find new solutions
To old problems. Build a much
Better mousetrap now!
Better mousetrap now
Than Pied Piper later on.
You heard it here first.
You heard it here first.
On my thread of A2K.
Goodbye one and all.
Goodbye one and all,
I have had it with this place.
I'm so underpaid.
I'm so underpaid
That if I were work'd over
Nothing would happen.
Nothing would happen
were I a couch potato
sitting on my ass.
