“it’s like bath water”
a nickel for every time
“bring me bar of soap”
“if you could bring me
back a meatball sub for dessert
that would be good”
he was having thai
his in-laws olive garden
the best of both worlds
thai seasons haiku
he wanted olive garden
i wanted pad thai
so i asked his wife
directions to thai seasons
thank him for haiku
he was offering
sweet tea vodka lemonade
you say no thank-you
but then you wonder
simply having no idea
was that one or three
the answer was two
you enjoy the lemonade
floating in window
“i was looking for
my daughter and her husband
have they been gone long”
several hours since
you show her they are still here
she has to bend down
the whole family
should write a book of haiku
my fingers are wet
they stood in the rain
barely drizzling outside
on your sunglasses
“ray charles everyone
he can’t see you but he can
hear you, make some noise”
it was a mistake
the pool shouldn’t be heated
he hit the wrong switch
did i mention that
i would like to have pad thai
“body of baker”
