Haiku I’ve known since long ago
Few simpler forms are known in verse
In fact, I’m bored, if you must know
By syllabic tricks and stanzas terse.

But disagree! It is your right
As free men of education
Since poets want, I thought I might
Bring some lyric illumination.

Oh Philistines! How trapped you are!
By simple forms you do not grasp
Haiku clears a greater bar
Than only a syllabic cast

Unite or not, here is my crux:
We should all agree that Tulsa sucks.
