OOC: is that one syllable, or three?
If we haikus have
Offended, think you on this:
I didn't mean to!
It was just a joke,
One or two comments at most,
Asplodinated!
Thank you those who played,
Sorry those who hated it,
Won't haiku again.
No, really, I promise.
So, this morning in Foreign Lit, the class wrote haikus. I was bored at work, and thought, "gosh, wouldn't it be funny if I wrote in haiku for awhile?"
Awhile was supposed to mean a comment in the cafeteria and a post in the park (wait, now I'm alliterating! Ack!). Pippi and Kiki were kind enough to humor me and write in haiku as well.
So, I thought, I'll send her to Empire. If anything can get rid of haiku, it's Klingon Opera.
Then Marty started haikuing, too (that rhymed! stop the insanity!).
Well, this is a lark, thought I (mixed up syntax? my inner poet is going nuts), as Walter and Pip joined in in the cafeteria.
Then Giles went to Empire after Nadia left, and got haikued by Marty, and haikued back, and I started to get worried.
I sent her to All and Sundries. Where Edmund haikued. I sent her to see the wizard Veronica, who told her, in haiku, to go to the clinic.
By this time, Cafe Fina had been "infected" (via Walter, I can only assume). And I had determined that Nadia would stop haikuing as soon as someone didn't haiku back.
So she went to the Clinic to see the Belthadoctor Dr. Not-Bel Dr. Christian Troy. Who was kind enough to just sort of blink, think "weird", and point out that she was speaking in haiku without haikuing himself.
Though there was the threat of a dirty limerick or two.
So, seriously now, I'm done. No more haikus except maybe a capper or two on the threads that still dangle. If the others want to keep going, I have no problem with that. But I'm haikued out.
Thanks to Dream, Kiki, Pippi, Marty, Walter, Pip, Edmund, Giles, Veronica, Alfred (I think?) and Christian for jumping in on this, you kept my work day enjoyable.
And, yes, odds are pretty good I'll be making a Haiku Day icon. Eventually.
ETA And Victor, and Principal Washburn haikued as well. As far as I know, Principal Washburn didn't encounter any other haikuers, or Patient!Zero!Nadia, so I'm thinking she's just weird. ;D
ETA 2 It occurs to me, after rereading the lecture in Foreign Lit, that it has, in fact, been a Haikai day. Not a Haiku day, at all.
