Oscar Sunday HaiKu

 

 

Thought I would send this out even though I don’t typically post on Sunday. Had to get it out of my head though. If you enjoy the Oscars, this is your night. For others not so much.

Oscars by John W. Howell © 2015

Broadcast starts all fun,

Parade of Hollywood stars. . .

Hard to stay awake.

    I think I just watch the opening number and then toss a DVD in.

    Truly one of the best I have read as of late… I laughed out loud at the truth in that HaiKu.

    I think it’s safe to say that this poem will be the best thing about the Oscars as far as I’m concerned.

    I only show up for the clothes. Don’t care about the awards.

    You have indeed done a service. Now I’ll have to find someone with the channels to watch it.

    I’ll be watching The Walking Dead and then will tune in later to see who wins the big awards – if I’m still awake.

    Love it! Your poem has adequately summed up the whole thing. Personally I’m planning on binge watching Dr Who instead 🙂

      Yeah, makes sense. I am going to tune in the Oscars. (I know I’ll hate myself in the morning)
