Haiku #1

with 6 comments

Recently the opportunity arose to write a haiku about detergent.  A haiku, for those of you who are blissfully unaware, is a short poem (originating from Japan), with a structure of 5-7-5 syllables, such as this:

detergent I wash
my soul on the rinse cycle
but it is not clean

Howaito Detergent - for those who like Japanese culture but can't stand anime

Howaito Detergent - for those who like Japanese culture but can't stand anime

This haiku was brought to you by Howaito, the only detergent guaranteed to clean your soul.  If you’ve committed a cardinal sin or just pirated an album off the internet, Howaito is the detergent for you.  Want your whites to be as white as the soul of an innocent child?  Want to make your blacks as black as your heart?  Want your reds as red as a brain anneurysm?  Then Howaito is the detergent for you!  Howaito: the smart choice for the discerning Japanese consumer.

(For those of you interested, Howaito is the Japanese representation of the English word “white”.  Or at least it is one word that stands for white – if you say it fast enough you’ll hear why.)

I think it would be best to end in a fashion such as this:

this is a small post
because I am too lazy
to write a long one
