Haiku Chonny Jash

[Verse 1]
I have been trying
To write a haiku for you
Some things I just can't do
Maybe you're beyond
Ancient Asian poetry
Or maybe it's just me

[Refrain]
I have been trying
To get this haiku just right
All night, for you, alright
I'm through!

[Verse 2]
Maybe this poem
Was lost in the sauce we spilled
That never got refilled
I've never thought much
Of formulaic verse anyway
And rhymes are not my fort–

[Refrain]
I have been trying
To get this haiku just right
All night, for you, alright
I'm through!
