A three branched vine grows
Blossoms ripen into grapes
Pressed and placed in the king's hand
The branches are days
Your office will be restored
King's cupbearer as before
Three baskets on head
Top one has food for the king
Birds eat from bottommost one
The baskets are days
The king will lift up your head
And the birds will eat your flesh
—————
These are the dreams of the cupbearer and the baker, told to Joseph while they were all in prison. Since the sedoka is supposed to use 2 sets of 3 lines to look at the same thing in two different ways, I thought perhaps the dream and its interpretation might work. There's not much room to work with, though!
(From Genesis 40)

Eighty Thousand Dollar Post
A former headmaster at a way preppy school
Was fired for age and he thought it cruel
So he sued and they settled
Said we’re sorry we meddled
Keep quiet about it the rule
No discloser they all did agree
In the terms of the settlement plea
If anyone squealed
The money’s repealed
And that was how it had to be
Now the daughter of he who had won
Was sent off to Europe for fun
But what she did next
Left the school quite perplexed
And back to the court on the run
She went on to Facebook to brag
Ignoring the court ordered gag
When she let it slip
What had paid for the trip
The school quickly threw a red flag
They might have ignored the short boast
Except for her words bottommost
The words they said struck it
When she said they could “suck it”
And with that the payoff was toast
The court said the settlement’s breached
The father when last he was reached
Said I lost eighty grand
Her Facebook’s been banned
And oh how that little girl screeched
