This blog post by a co-worker made me laugh. And it reminded me of a Haiku I wrote last year when I was up in the middle of the night cleaning up after my old dog. Yes, I wrote a poem at midnight when I should have been sleeping. Here it is. It’s a double haiku with a title that makes use of alliteration. Went all out with this one….
Mopping the Mistake at Midnight
Drifting off to sleep
I’m conscious of a whining.
It pulls me awake.
Grumbling I arise
To let the dog out. Too late!
A puddle of pee.
