HAIKUS WRITTEN WHILE PUTTING OFF TODAY’S WRITING ASSIGNMENT

By Meirav Devash

This long manicure
Makes it much harder to type
On my new laptop

Bay Ridge really sucks
Far away from everything
I’m bridge and tunnel

Need a maid, big time
I will never wash a dish
If I can help it

I’m a big, fat fake
Not one idea in mind
They pay me to write?

Really have to pee
Bathroom seems so far away
Guess I’ll hold it in

Still can’t concentrate
Should I watch TV instead?
What’s on Wednesday nights?

CD’s ended now
Time to get back to writing
Should have married rich
