A pointless haiku
Shows selfless dedication
To art of poems

Haiku to help posts
The counts remain uneven

That this smiley: :moon: is
Mooning, and not tail wagging
My mind has been blown

And it was that poem that did it. So thank you @Burnt Toast !! I'm kinda embarrassed though. I always thought it was meant to be some weird sheepish dog but just without all the other usual dog features except a tail.

Bed was calling me
And I answered with a smile
Sleep is for the weak

Yet now I am old
I cannot see any good
in staying up late:

The next day is trash
Eyeballs like red hot marbles
Zombified shambling

Red hot marble eyes
Inspires a new type of bread:
Red hot marble rye

Which makes me think of
Seinfeld, comedic glory
in the nineties. Hee!

There was a haiku,
named Bob. Why name a haiku?
Why not, I ask you.

I hate Hamilton,
The musical, yes indeed,
Lin Manuel sucks.

or else much confuse

Subtitles needed
For at least the first viewing
Lots of words to learn

Hamilton backlash
Was inevitable, but
Not wholly deserved

The rapping was bad,
For someone who loves hip hop,
Just my perspective.

A fair perspective
I enjoyed the sung parts more
Some talents there, though

The singing parts were super,

August hints at Fall.
It's incomprehensible

If it's just a sent-

really a haiku?
