One, two, three, four      I have been trying to write   A haiku for you   Some things I just can't do      Maybe you're beyond ancient   Asian poetry   Or maybe it's just me      I have trying to get   This haiku just right   All night for you alright      I'm through!      Maybe this poem was lost   In the sauce we spilled   That never got refilled      I've never thought much   of formulaic verse anyway   End rhymes are not my fort-      I have been trying to get   This haiku just right   All night for you alright      I'm through!      I'm trying not to try to hard   But you're hard to write down right   So I pen these trite attempts   At haikus for you tonight      hee hee ha ha ha ha ha ha      La da dee diddum   La da daddum doo   Diddle dum doo la deedle      There! That's sufficient.   I wrote a haiku for you   Well I tried at least   And that's not so bad   I'm working here   Can that be said for you?      I'm trying not to try too hard   But you're hard to write down right   So I pen these trite attempts   At haikus for you tonight      Words don't work like Webster says   They trip me up all night   I'm just trying to write for you   But you're hard to write down right
