Please just put up with me. I will get serious or not.
You’ns use big words
‘bout stuff I don’t know
I’s kinda scart my ignernce
might show.
Just the other day
Someone said “Haiku”
I hadn’t sneezed, but I said
“thank you”.
Now I’m a wonderin’
Were that the wrong thing to do?
Should I showed ‘em a finger and said
“Haiku you too?”
Then somebody said “zin”.
I said “yes ma’m, I do
I kinda like it
Bettin’ you do too.”
She looked at me funny
Shakin’ her head
musta misunderstood
Some’n I said.
Somebody wrote” Iambic”
I wrote "hey Bic, Iamjack,
Nice to met ya man”
He didn't write back. (I think that’s one o’ them forced rhymes)
I saw this word I didn’t know- pentameter
Looked it up on the www, now that there’s cool
I read the definition and thought
“now whose the fool?”
“A line of verse five metrical feet”.
I know ya’lls real bright,
But one line five feet long?
That just don’t seem right ( another one o’ them forced rhymes)
It’s hard to be stupid
In a world full of smart
It's like have’n a lump
Each time you fart.
I’ll shut up for now
Won’t say anymore
I think I’ll go fix me
A mixed metaphor.

. My reward is your laughter in the midst of such chaos.
