Matsuo Bashō
Bad Haiku
Haiku #35190
I saw a dog hit
in traffic today as the
owner stood helpless

There was only love
as the man scooped up his pet
from a pool of blood

There's nothing to say
to a man as he runs off
hoping there's some chance

Hoping tomorrow
will come with the good news that
today never happened
