O, Mistress, I forgot. Forgive me!

how come you don't write haiku?

I do!

oop

I mean she does!
or has.

dontcha know there was an entire summer I wrote nothing but haiku.

I ate haiku sandwiches.

I spoke in haiku to my husband. Called him for dinner in haiku. It was bizarre. Changed my whole method of thinking.

The same thing happened when I took my first programming class. I spoke in if then statements and the like.
