The time has now come,
To recap this awful year.
In a haiku form.
“What is a haiku?”
You may be asking yourself
I shall explain it.
Haikus are simple,
Syllables: five, seven, five.
All one sentence each.
Now that you know it,
Let’s talk about twenty-one.
Hopefully this works.
Rednecks made a show
Attempted coup; Capitol
Your neighbor was there
COVID’s not over.
Claiming so many of us
Get your damn vaccine.
New governor now,
The Cuomo brothers are done,
Oh, Mama Mia!
Bezos spent his cash,
Shot up a flaccid rocket,
Upstate won nothing.
Washington County Fair,
Back after COVID closure,
One sneeze, Upstate gone.
Prince Philip is dead
People here in the upstate
Learned he was alive
Marijuana’s here!
Now we are one step closer,
To liking New York
But don’t speak too fast,
You’re going to need that joint
When filling your car
You may be asking
Why are you writing poems?
When you could just write
I think we don’t know,
Just how divided we are,
Hopefully this helps
Funny little lines,
Easily digestible,
To help you realize.
Let’s come together,
And make this next year better.
Here’s to twenty-two!
