Matsuo Bashō
Bad Haiku
Haiku #44778
You, a year older,
master critic of the universe,
but none the wiser

Getta' Life roosts high
'yon perch cock-a-doodling
blinded by the light

of self-importance
strutting to and 'fro till
the silver fox springs

a feathery trail
leads us to the den wherein
this tale of hubris........
ENDS
