Haiku Tally Hall

[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 (Get off the stage!)
And rhymes are not my forte

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