How do you pronounce
Poems? It's a two syllable word
Right? Haiku Po-ems?

If so, then yours has
A touch of ironic flair
And humor to boot.


Believe it or not, it was on purpose. lol

Edit: I mean

Believe it or not
I am easily amused
Mistake on purpose

It's hard to tell you
why am i fascinated
with haiku poems?

I really don't know.
I secretly mix them in
Like this error page

But I must admit
I was inspired by others
It's no secret now

Tickets are en route
Many of you will win soon
Others, not so much.

I hate being poor
Anything for fair tickets
I am buyable

Contests excite me
Don't know why I never win
I waste too much time

With all due respect
Webmaster John's on a roll
Don't quit your day job

Sent our address to
John this morning. Was amused
To find that even

Our address was fit
For Haiku. Except for the
Zip code. Pesky zip!

Think this may be the
First time I won a contest
For talking too much.

Thanks, John! Rewards for
Obnoxious behaviour are
Always a good time.

Looking forward to
The fair. Glad that even the
Parking is free. Whoop!

Thanks again, John! You
Are the best webmaster in
Folsom! Whoop whooop whoop!


THANK YOU FOR SUPPORTING MY GIRL.
We could not be doing this without you.
Much love and gratitude.

MrTuffPaws said,
"Technically* I wrote that one"
He wants the credit

*OK, technically, 'technically' has 4 syllables, but I don't think anyone says it that way.
