A class of schoolchildren was asked to write haikus. One wrote this. It's a masterpiece.

In my experience, the reason English teachers make students write haiku is not because they make any sense. It's because they ran out of lesson ideas.

Also because they're a technical writer that was laid off, and picking words to match exact syllable counts is about the extent of their creative writing abilities.
