This Isn’t Haiku

March 10th, 2010 · 5 Comments

Readers of my poetry have asked if I have any additional haiku to share.  As a result, I have posted this piece, which is obviously not real haiku.  But, it is original and very representative of my sense of humor.  I hope you have some fun with it.  Enjoy.

we will write the Lord’s Prayer

on each one.

We will bottle the snow

in flasks marked GINSENG

and then sell them

as holy water.
