Haiku

I have been trying
 To write a haiku for you
 Some things I just can't do
 Maybe you're beyond
 Ancient Asian poetry
 Or maybe it's just me
 I have been trying
 To get this haiku just right
 All night for you, alright
 I'm through!
 Maybe this poem
 Was lost in the sauce we spilled
 That never got refilled
 I've never thought much
 Of formulaic verse anyway
 And rhymes are not my fort!
 I have been trying
 To get this haiku just right
 All night for you, alright
 I'm through!
 I'm trying not to try too hard
 But you're hard to write down right
 So I pen these trite attempts
 At haikus for you tonight
 ♪
 La da dee diddum
 Lada da dum doo diddle
 Dum doo la dee do
 There, that's sufficient!
 I wrote a haiku for you!
 Well, I tried at least
 And that's not so bad
 I'm working here
 Can that be said for you?
 I'm trying not to try too hard
 But you're hard to write down right
 So I pen these trite attempts
 At haikus for you tonight
 Words don't work like Webster says
 They trip me up all night
 I'm just trying to write for you
 But you're hard to write down right!
