Haikus, November 2018

A series of haikus I wrote as a writers' guild exercise:

“It’s Not Worth Diet Coke”

I once thought the theme

Of Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves

Told of Diet Coke.

“The Chicken Joke”

I’d no idea

The chicken crossed the road since

It sought suicide.

“Grandparental Nomenclature”

I used to think the

Names of my mom’s parents were

Nanny and Poppy.

“Cait Sith”

I had no clue the

Name of the mythical beast

Was pronounced “kett shee.”

“Grilled Cheese”

I once thought grilled cheese

Sandwiches were called “girled cheese.”

Food has no gender.

“Germany Jeremy”

In my youth I thought

Jeremy and Germany

Were one in the same.
