National Haiku Poetry Day

In honor of today being (among other things) National Haiku Poetry Day, I give you a Haiku I wrote in either Elementary or High School (it was a loooong time ago, either way):

When the sun passes
Look among the garden weeds
For asparagrass(es)

That last word was mis-spelled on purpose (poetic license) and the last syllable is illegal, but I put it there because, well, I am a rebel that way. If you swallow that last syllable like I do, then maybe you can get away with it (like I do.) ;)
