Brave Slave Would Crave Horn Haiku
when she tied the knot
must marry an astronaut
became overwrought
when he (she) was a slave
he had lived in home of the brave
freedom always crave
(caught moving through a cave)
(would live lonely life like a knave)
(was stuck (struck) with a stave)
(died when stuck with stave)
(like Jesus jammed with stave)
(at those on ship would wave)
when there was slavery
they always had been neighborly
would be much bravery
slaves would always shiver
when a newborn did deliver
had been with a fever
when he had a nickel
His money was in small trickle
would pick out a pickle
when in yard stood a tall tree
would climb and for miles could see
brough back a memory
