Day 20. Cathartic Haikus

These might explain why I abandoned poetry as a career choice in the fourth grade (after my smash hit entitled “I Want an Alien from Outer Space”).

On my way to work

Wish I were doing laundry

Just kidding, I don’t

Grouchy Man came back

Always orders the same thing

I will make him smile

Every day I work

For a stupid balding man

Hippopotamus

Shiny, shiny head

I pretend you are silent

Sing songs while you yap

We are not allowed

To use the rest’rant toilets

Instead, we get this:

When the day is done

I smell of rotten kitchen

Must get out of here…
