03/30/26 A New Haiku for a New Day

If our pets knew what
We humans were really like,
Would they choose to stay?

Blast from the Past:

Strapping boys end up
Mensplainers set in their ways.
Disappearing men.

01/28/26 A New Poem for a New Day

The boy saw his laundry
That his mom handed to him.
He lounged for his favorite shirt,
But she said, “Keep it clean.”
“But I want to wear it.”
“If you wear it now, it will dirty again.
You must keep it clean as long as you can.”

He ran to his room
And put his laundry aside,
And looked at the shirt on his chest
Evidently becoming dirty.
To keep them all clean,
He knew what he must do,
Waltzing into the hall
Knowing that
He’d never wear clothes again.

Blast from the Past:

Brains are like lettuce:
Both go bad if I do not
Use them frequently.

Roses are red.
Hip hip hooray.
I started this poem
Before I know what I’d say.

Another version:

This rose is red,
But you should bend it,
Cause I started this poem
Unsure how to end it.

Some days you have time
To think up a great haiku,
Others this must do

Blast from the Past:

This is the haiku
That never ends. Keeps going
On and on… Oh wait.

Today, I felt like writing a haiku in Java. It’s a programming pun, based on the common word “string” in programming lexicon but also the idea of string cheese.
