In one of my English classes WAY back in high school we had to write ... I dunno... some kinda haiku / Poem type thing. I was partners with this really hot guy. Whatever it was... this is what we came up with:

I like to walk into a big barn, and see the cows of every species...
Each time I do, I walk into, A Pile of Bovine Feces.

Our teacher was NOT amused...

Hahaaha!

This reminds me of when I graduated Catholic school, 8th grade. We all got small autograph books for each other to sign. One girl went around putting little poems into the books, something like:

on this page of baby blue, a fried has left a note for you!

When she got to me, the next available page was yellow, so she wrote:

On this page of pearly white, someone peed with all their might.


I still laugh when I think about that.

Whenever someone mentions haikus, I think of "Charmed".

Eash episode the sisters (witches) had to vanquish some demon, and always did it with a rhyming spell, like this one.

When in the circle that is home,
safety's gone and evils roam.
Rid all beings from these walls,
save us sisters three now heed our call.

In one episode, Paige (the half-sister and new to the craft) wrote a spell to vanquish the demon Ludlow, who could manipulate ice & cold. This is how the the exchange went.

Phoebe: We still need to vanquish him.

Paige: I have the spell here!

Sisters: The brutal winter
Gives way to flowers of spring.
Ludlow is vanquished.

(Ludlow explodes)

Piper: That was a vanquish spell?

Paige: I don't do that rhyming stuff, it's a haiku.
