There was a haiku
in my art history book.
Not five, seven, five.
It made me question,
asking myself, “Am I wrong?”
But of course, I’m not.
My brother and I
Used to talk to each other
In five, seven, five.
For example
“I wonder how he’s
been. Papa from the Papa’s
Freezeria game.”
“I don’t care just give
Me the ketchup to put on
My dino nuggies”
How did my textbook
Get the syllables so wrong
With seven, nine, five.
