Matsuo Bashō
Bad Haiku
Haiku #37923
Sitting in a cave,
bored on a lost rainy day,
a caveman doodles.

Just mere amusement
for his mate and his children,
he makes up a tale.

Centuries sever
all his throw-away stories
from marks on the wall.

Sitting in a room,
searching for truth and meaning,
a scientist thinks.

Some logic dictates,
Haiku #37923
