Horaitio Haiku Horn

Horatio Haiku Horn

What was a haiku
Did it get all over you
Or was I all wrong.

A haiku have heard
Can be completely absurd
Unless a bright bird.

If you knew haiku
Like I shown have known haiku
Things could become verse.
(Unless you want to use worse,
Could become a curse.)

What if I had been
Wondering where to begin
Having a haiku.

Did see dim glimmer
Of water which would simmer
Poem will start to write.

Might be me that lied
So in haiku I should hide
Mouth which opens wide.

Had impressive grade
For haiku they found well laid
Now I have it made.

Between me and you
Had been hounded by a haiku
More might write a few.

Make mine moribund
Found no money in my fund
Am over and done.

What if you placate
Then will start to contemplate
Would be a weird trait.

Haiku was heinous 
Crime and if romanticist
Saw name on long list.

How long will you wait
So why have to hesitate
Best to be not late.

What should I surmise
When I start to realize
Forgot to bring beer.


Fools always do fret
Having been deeper in debt
Things get better yet.

How much should we steel
When you want to wheel and deal
Start some tax repeal.

Of course, this is best part 
that I have saved for last.

What would be absurd
Oddest thing you ever heard
Lady was big bird.
(Or Johnson if you prefer;
Enough to endure.)

So what do you think
Should be flushed down kitchen sink
And not raise a stink.

James Thomas Horn, Retired Veteran and Poet
PS. Category is outstandingly humorous.
