I'm sitting in Bar Louie's
It is one dollar burger night.
I feel skinny because I ordered a turkey burger. I wrote a haiku about it...
Dollar burger night
Calories followed by blight
Turkey offers light
So this is not the most successful verse I have ever penned, but there is something satisfying, and falsely cosmopolitan about a haiku.
I made the extra effort to make the 'syllable-based' haiku also rhyme -- but please don't make the error of thinking this is a limerick!
The wiki entry on haikus is extensive. Apparently the Japanese concept of 'syllable' and the American approach don't completely mesh... How disappointing that my haiku wouldn't cut it to a true afficionado. I choose to remain blissfully ignorant-- at least outwardly.
