bass haiku

Work, my friend
it never ends
the bills can't pay themselves

But alas, youre correct
More time for bass
Less time stuck in this place

Dude, five syllables
Then seven on the next line
Five ends the haiku!

Rule must be obeyed
Or no points for you, my friend
Count better next time

Now go practice more
to make your playing better
or write real haiku


(Some may argue that real is a two-syllable word. Only in Texas.)

Think nontraditionally friend
Rules are meant to be broken
Plenty of haiku would disagree
