The Dark Child's Haiku part 1

Many years ago, BHP (before Happy Pills) I entertained myself on occasion by writing a lot of drivel. I’ve always loved the form of Haiku writing, and did that quite a bit. Some of it will never see the light of day, publicly, but some of it I think you might find amusing. I rewrote 12 nursery rhymes. Here are the first 6. Next week will be the rest of them.

Alas! Poor Humpty

All to pieces, I’m afraid

Omelets all around

Optic’ly challenged,

Mice chase the shrieking farm wife

Chop! Chop! Now who squeaks?

Shame on Jack Horner!

Scorning his fork, used his hands

What a messy boy!

Bo Peep, sheep tender

Foolishly loses them all

No lamb chops tonight

Mary’s snow-white lamb

Following once too often

Has become school lunch

Thirsty Jack and Jill

Are climbing, climbing, climbing

Alas! The well’s dry
