My first thought was to
Dedicate A Haiku Day
But the time is past

The fifth of July
The year two thousand and five
Would have been ideal

< 5/7/5 >

Although to you yanks
sadly the seventh of May
Would have had to do.

So I say we just
Name a week, <and shame the weak>
So, what do you say?

       There once was a man   

       Who wrote his thoughts in haiku   

       Haikudos to him

       Mary had a little pig, she couldn't stop it grunting.
She tied it to a five-bar gate and kicked it's little…
  

       Oh wait, what's the formula for a haiku again? Something that has no apparent rhythm or beat or meter or scansion, if I remember, something that's more floaty and ethereal.

Please, please, please, please, please, please, no.
Please, please, please, please, no.

       Does 5/7/5 give
.14 or 3.5?
Does anyone care?

       This shouldn't be a halfbakery thing. This should be an international holiday.
