DADJOKU-The Spirit of Haiku

Dadjoku

I tried writing a haiku.

It’s a lot harder than it looks

I’ve never done it before

I googled how it’s done

Five words then seven then another five

Seems to be the pattern

So...

thought I’d try something new,

Combining a dad joke with a haiku,

I call it a Dadjoku

Using that as a framework

I wrote the following bits and pieces

In the spirit of haiku

# 1

Today, from Amazon, I purchased

A single egg and a single chicken,

I shall let you know

# 2

You carried the coal in,

Whistling, ‘I’ve got you under my skin,’

A Cole Porter tune , coincidently

# 3 ( with due regard to Dick Martin of “the cowpats” )

If you fancy a chat,

About my persistent condensation problem, pop round

The kettle is always on.

# 4

I am reading about antigravity,

An interesting book that I am finding

Very hard to put down

#5

what do you get if

you take a joke and combine It,

with a rhetorical question....?
