Matsuo Bashō
Bad Haiku
Haiku #29005
I saw a poet die
from a heart attack
as he delivered a funny routine
but fuck, why did he have to die?
he was sweet, it was meant to be
fun....listen, I know you nitwits on line have to mock stuff, you don't understand, but if it happens and I feel it, mock it if you must, "we all die, haba daba with fries, go ahead and kill yourself, I don't care, I'm too busy shoving heroin up my ass, my emotions are gone"

but it's not meant to be taken lightly, boom, as the suicide bomber blows
