Serious Poem Ii

Only one of the haiku poems below is serious. The others are frivolous. Can you spot the serious poem? Longitudinal lines run lengthwise, criss-crossing lines of latitude. A "friend of the court," or "amicus curiae," is no friend of mine! For perfect haiku, you must check your syllable count religiously. You can run, but you cannot hide, from the sweeping hand of Father Time. The four in boring salesman suit pants were foreign- born ring salesladies. I tuned my Toro, programmed my Panasonic— then mowed through Matlock. Latin syllable count by: http://marello.org/tools/syllabifier/
