Getting old sucks
Taken from an American Greeting card:
Getting older sucks,
Yes, it really, really sucks.
It sure does suck bad.

Accidental Haiku
“She can’t get away
from the smell; she has the shit
right under her nose.”
Haiku is a 17-syllable verse form consisting of three metrical units of 5, 7, and 5 syllables.
The other day, my wife uttered the above phrase about a friend's situation. Upon reflection (actually, upon my attention drifting away from the point of discussion), I realized her comment fit the format of haiku.
I wondered if others have had this happen - where a comment or phrase comes out as haiku.
