Sotto Poet February 12, 2022 at 4:45 PM William, This is a lovely and hilarious Haiku; you chose ludicrous over amusing, which I think is brilliant. William Kelii Kekaula February 12, 2022 at 6:34 PM A bit of levity amidst the pandemania hoverance, Lasaad, "methinks that the lady doth protest too much" (re my photo image of, 'oh my?'). Aloha my friend~William.
