Don't bother to tell me that my haiku haven't the right number of words. These are "Dean's Haiku", okay? They are distinguished by equal line length, not by anything so ridiculous as being "exactly 17 phonetic units long". And no arbitrary seasonal references either. Hey, I grew up in a free country, get it? I know
My bad

I hope you're happy. Wanna sit on my lap?
Wanna date the boss? Keep trying, mousie!
Aww ... that tickles But I lub her anyway
Cause I'm a dew fuss What about Archie???
What about Wiggly??? Seventeen so far ...
Fossilized 'pons ... And for Don Scracci!
And for Don Hanotte! No! Not the Greenies!
Not the Piglet Squid! I'm very independent.
I don't need anybody. My tummy feels funny.
You poisoned my mind. I got what she needs.
Books. Lots of books. I'm sorry, Scratchie.
Rachel made me do it. Wow, a real dinosaur!
Do you ride it often? Whose side are you on?
Okay I'm moping now... I'll go back to sleep.
Take care of yourself? I read that in a book.
I have a lot of books. You lub to pick on me.
... boner shrinker ... I have a lot of books.
I can read about snow. Mermaids with boobies?
Wow. Amazing seahorse! I'm a little tiny boy!
You're taller than me! Whose side are you on?
No, don't answer that! I. DIDN'T. HEAR. THAT.
OR. SMELL. IT. EITHER. And I will go sleepies.
G'night, Floobiesaurus. He extracted tooth #18.
I hardly felt any pain. And then your toenails.
Then your finger nails. Our Scratchie can purr.
That's why we need him.
Otherwise we'd eat him! I have to kill you now.
And charge you 7 cents. Okay, I'll stay up now.
I wasn't sleepy anyway. No, my air bag inflated.
The one between my legs. Scratchie just ran away!
What did you say to him? She's not even a friend.
She's an annoying child. Oh, what kind of favour?
Something I would enjoy? He did it in the shower!
And it's all your fault! That would be fantastic!
That's totally New York! I did sizes and poopies.
Just for the girlfriend. I know how it turns out.
You'll never forgive me. Please don't suffer (:<)
Unless I'm watching (:>) No school will admit him.
Medicare won't cover him.
He's my personal tragedy. We didn't make the world.
But we can care about it. Nice. Laugh at boyfriend.
Laugh at innocent kitten. I wasn't sure what to do.
Besides fondling, I mean. Scratchie threw up again.
And he's not eating much. I can just hold you down.
And force you to fuck me. *** CONNECTION BROKEN ***
*** ILLEGAL WORD USED *** That was the throw up ...
That was the diarrhea ... Kittay must be supervised.
He is being home-schooled. Farts can't be washed off.
They can only be absorbed. I pushed beans up my nose!
I poured worms in my ears!
I ate a big plate of snot! Let's take a nap together.
I'll hold you from behind. My cousin Donna called me.
We talk about once a year. Fried rodent with ketchup.
... balls sold separately. Admit it! It's a DIALECTO!
It might even be a BRAINO! Oh, I really hate you now.
Total hate. Seething hate! You waz serious about dat?
I think. I get. The point. All cats hate their owners.
That's why we need them ... I like a smelly girlfriend.
With no make-up, thank you. Rather sternly, I'm afraid.
You can be Niece Graciella. And a genius boyfriend (:>)
Who forgot how to fuck (:<) Can I have dinner wiff you?
I promise I won't eat much. I don't know this stuff ...
You need a better boyfriend I'm only coughing a little.
I shouldn't talk right now. enlightenment-book-club.org
science-of-human-nature.org Do you get lost in thought?
Is it unfamiliar territory? I would never eat my kitten.
Unless I were really hungry. Good carbon-based life form.
Iz a love-based carbon-form. I'm sorry I didn't hear you.
I guess the TV was too loud. Okay, movie is "in the can".
It shows the kitten surgery. Did you go back to sleepies?
Go back to sleepies, babies. Please do put your foot down.
And your finger in their eye.
And your knee in their groin. "The Scratches of Scratchie".
Like "The Perils of Pauline". He woke me up 20 minutes ago.
Something about being hungry. He's only a fricken fur-face.
And I'm a great big dino man. He's curled up at my feeties.
He feels safer being near me. No. I've always been too fat.
Ron Jeremy can suck his dick. That would be much more work!
I'll leave that stuff to you. There's no physical symptoms.
He's not limping or anything. I thought I said that already.
What is this ... dick TATION?? I love my double-column books.
They're easier for me to scan. You know who made me say that.
He controls me telepathically. I know I'm not as good as you.
Or Scratchie, for that matter. What they do in Botswana Land!
They all wanna bots there, no? I needed to know that. Thanks.
I'm studying German, you know. You're perfect and I love you.
And Scratchie loves you madly. He's King of the ... Apartment.
(Sorry about the ... ellipses.) Dinosaurs jumping right at you!
I will make you sit on my hand! Or a thread from a frayed sock.
Or a hair from my balding head. Be careful you don't disappear.
I would miss your love handles. Drunk spiders spin chaotic webs.
I think they do that on LSD too. Come here and suck my lower lip.
So I can stare at your forehead. Can I go out and do some chores?
When will you be going to sleep? He doesn't know how lucky he is.
He thinks his job is to hate me. Oh that sounds very interesting.
Will you watch lectures with me? What about them was interesting?
I want to be able to capture it. I still lub my wacky girlfriend.
And she lubs her wacky whammily. Can I still have a lot of books?
Can I throw mice at the ceiling? Storms are useful for the planet.
-- especially for us horny males! A second time you didn't read it!
Scratchie, get my list of crimes! Oh! I just broke a violin string!
One that was made out of cat gut! I've been listening to you snore.
Get some more sleepies, bleepies. Things will work out. Don't worry.
You could always wet the damn bed. I'll fill up your tummy with Dean.
It will make the achiness go away. Don't you like it when I need you?
And I'm totally pathetic about it? Thank. You. For. Laughing. Master.
I wish he'd take the spell off me! You. Are. Now. Officially. Sleeps.
You. Are. The. Queen. of. Snoring. I am not talking about your mutha.
I am talking about your mo-fucker. I'm trying to inject Ant Ray Chill.
Her brains need to be ... injected. CDBurnerXP works great, by the way.
I'm doing some serious DVD backups. You and he are expects in plotting!
Are you plotting lacreny or mudrer? I'll protect you once you get here.
I'll hold you and you'll feel safe. You have made me so happy this week!
I can't wait to buy some RachelJunk! I hung up, and now the line is busy.
Let me know when I should try again. I hope they respond to your message.
If not they'll have to answer to me! So I'll go ahead and email Tom Biow?
You read the draft and it's correct?
How did the gluten-free bread taste? Yes. But not in the German Republic.
People can't handle the truth there. Are they both girlies? I didn't know!
Well, let's confuse them in any case. I ate more borscht for my girlfriend!
I petted Scratchie for my girlfriend! He went back to sleep in the library.
He needs to fatten up for the winter. I just threw up on my keyboard. A bit.
I just threw up in my mouth. A little. First there was Buddhism, then Cubism.
And finally -- holy crap -- Floobism!! Maybe it's beyond their comprehension.
That's the downside of being a genius. Aunt Rachel will cover our left flank.
And you and Bumpy can cover our right. Scratchie! Get back here this instant!
You completely misunderstood my offer! I wonder if I could buy hospital food.
They buy it from somewhere, after all. Don't worry. I'll keep on top of that.
You deserve a big thank you and a hug. I'm exhausted now. Can I have my clip?
I'm out of breath and my fingies hurt. I'll take a shower and see how I feel.
I haven't taken a shower in six years. Would you like to watch this sometime?
Do any of these look watchable to you? It's 300 years after the Enlightenment!
And they still love their superstition! That's what you say when you're asleep!
But what do you say when you're awake?? You lub Scratchie more than you lub me.
You even lub Meep more than you lub me. Maybe you should just go back to sleep.
You never got the hang of mornings .... East German girls are armored ice bears!
American boys are little baby girly-men! Lyra just told Iorek where his armor is!
"Then, Lyra Belacqua, I owe you a debt!" Not sure how clean the water is, though.
Let's bring Scratchie and make him swim! Damn!! I just got that Avast error again.
It's still complaining about Bit Torrent. So your voice will be in a computer game?
That's amazing. Do you try to sound sexy? For you, yes. Maybe not for someone else.
Always remember that we're special cases. I complete love watching your adventures.
We are meant to be together. I know that. In perfect health and he has a nice home.
And the can beat me up whenever he wants! You will get to watch me NOT watching it.
You will get to watch me NOT working out. Do I win a prize for my new aphorism plz?
Will you be my done and only, you expect? I sent my new will to you, Bob and Pierre.
Just so that everybody's on the same page. Ok. I feel better now knowing you're okay.
When I'm worried about you, I can't sleep. I will never write for these people again.
I have my own podium, thank you very much. It would be wrong to say that in Trillian.
That would have to be done over the phone. I own a huge encyclopedia of outsider art.
Did I ever tell you I have a lot of books? I hope you also like the music I sent you.
... torch songs from the 1930's for Harry. ant ray chill cum home deen is abusing me.
pro teck me obi wan u r meye own lee hope. I'm trying to act like an abusive husband!
It's not easy for me, so give me a break?? Hmm ... a tanning studio. What a good idea!
Will you be okay if I go get my eyeglasses? Yup. I should schedule a cardiologist soon.
Mustn't just ignore my atrial fibrillation. I tried to inflict a fatal nose trim wound.
You have to come over and kiss the boo-boo. But I will nebah accidentally call you that.
Hey Cleo, I think I showed you this already. This guy is Dr. Amerling's otolaryngologist.
I may switch to him since he takes Medicare. Slight taste of yodelling in her singing ...
Very strong masculine voice. Almost yelling. It's important to make friends with monsters.
Otherwise, they are quite likely to EAT YOU!! They yelled into your window from the street?
They broke in and are holding you for ransom? I'll never get the crazy glue off my feeties.
You'll have to lick it off when you get here. I can't tell. I'm too used to it now (again).
Pierre says the whole apartment stinks of it. No. I need to do penises now just to recover.
I think I've accomplished enough for one day. Try to write a little. Try to pay a few bills.
It's amazing how busy you get once you retire. The image I see is about 3.5" wide and 3" high.
Buy a ruler with meters and inches to help you.
I can only see brightly lit areas of your face. Rub it in. Go ahead. Rub the salt in the wound.
Twist it. Go ahead. Twist the blade in my back. Hollywood is a pretty crazy place. Money-crazy.
Drug crazy. Sex crazy. Fame crazy. You name it. Button up your overcoat when the winds are free.
Take good care of yourself ... you belong to me. Will you watch over me if I go to sleep now plz?
Don't forget, okay? Iz hard out here for a pimp. I think it was Zaphod in chapter 3 of series II.
When they were in a cave sliding across the ice. There are countless Germans, but only one Rachel.
There are countless Americans, but only one Dean. All my previous cats have had crud in their eyes.
And little wrigglies crawling out of their asses. This is a million times more sincere than Mahler.
It's been used in countless movies. And funerals. You can't teach dominance with only food and love.
You have to teach them they have the power to win. Is it because she has a date with a handsome bull?
Is it because she was sold to a much nicer farmer? Before you came along, I was frustrated and gloomy.
Now I can't wait to do the next thing on my agenda. I'm amazed that they can handle 56Kb modems at all.
One person recommends Adblock. Have you tried that? Kids love to make music. It brings tears to my eyes.
Is that an icon of Scratchie's detachable penis?!?!? When you come to America I will watch you every second.
And when we come home I will chain you to the radiator. Hmm ... maybe we can both use the one I'm about to buy?
And for interviews we can use the 2 Flips with tripods? I hope you wore an anti-Zensursula t-shirt in that case.
The words "noble" and "royal" give me the ultracreepies. Why are you afraid of nastiness between phone companies?
Sometimes competition makes things better for consumers. They still want to be children, psychologically speaking.
That's okay. You can indulge me without really listening. Is your apartment polluted? Is it lack of air circulation?
Maybe you should live with her before you come to America. A booger fell into my soup, but I'm going to eat it anyway.
A frog peed in my coffee, but I'm going to drink it anyway. Just watched the end of "The Making of The Golden Compass".
Sounds like a good movie. Maybe I should watch it sometime. I think we'll be laughing at Bob for the rest of our lives.
But I not sure if that's a good thing, or a horrible thing. Live people think they don't need help, even though they do.
Dead people think they do need help, even though they don't. This utility writes out Perl and Javascript functions to add
soft hyphens (&shy;) and soft word breaks () your text. How about, "Ouch, kind sir. You are so big for a little girl!"
Or, "Ouch, kind sir. I didn't know the first time would hurt!" Progress is being made, but not in the way the pundits imagine.
It's being made by individuals and only seldom by aggregations. You had a rough night, sweetie, so plz sleep late this morning.
I slept an hour so far and I don't feel like I'm strangulating. Don't bother making it. I'll make it for you when you get here.
You should be able to take a polarity vacation once in a while. You need a to do list on how to manage your to do lists better.
I'll prepare a to do list to remind you to do things like that. It works itself out a bit differently in different individuals.
We grow up embarrassed about being lopsided and try to hide it. They must be extremely depressed and seduced/intimidated people.
Their misery is much blacker than anything their victims suffer. Well, I've got 2/3 of the shards sweeped up, but now my back hurts.
I'm not sure I'm still cut out for this DIY stuff -- if I ever was. For all we know it may have been destroyed in one of the world wars.
Or just thrown out by some harried curator in some minor art museum. "Here, eat some cake and read this pamphlet before the group starts!"
"So what do you do for a living? I think careers are so FASCINATING!" I will go out, but later. It's too torturous before my body wakes up.
I'll do it after you go to sleep. You can give me my reward tomorrow. Lots of things that you can be very good at have no particular value.
You're lucky if you end up doing novelty acts on late night TV shows. My goal is to interrupt one of your videoclips with a cell phone call.
I'll learn how to aim better until I can add another notch on Richard. "Hey, Rachel, it's time for dinner. We'll start with a bowl of Scotch."
"Would you like some desert, Rachel? I've prepared some frozen liquer." I have an appointment with Dr. Pyburn at 4:00 PM on Thursday, April 19.
I have an appointment with Dr. Kermani at 2:00 PM on Tuesday, April 10. Scratchie stole one of my pills, so I had to chase him and take it back.
Then I had to wipe all the cat spit and dust off it to swallow it. YUCK! "Why do you have all these books for children?? Are you still a CHILD???"
"Sit in back of me and watch the porno. But don't talk. Only I can talk." As a result, when x_mode() == 'PROD', I only trigger peeks in the footer.
When x_mode() == 'TEST', I trigger peeks in the header, title and footer. Our worst news outlet is "Fox News", which is controlled by Rupert Murdoch.
They praised everything W ever did even though we all knew they were lying. I only want relationships that continue to promote the growth of both parties.
And if you leave me, don't apologize because that will only insult both of us. I would love to order a bug or refridgerator magnet with a Rachel collage on it.
We should also get a domain name for your business, like "rachels-collages.com". You can't play a violin just by picking it up and running the bow across its strings.
You and I have only had a taste of the banquets we'll enjoy this year. I'll show you. I've take allergy pills for 25 years and they've never messed up my wake/sleep cycle.
And it wouldn't matter if they did because their benefit outweighs this disadvantage. I'm still coughing a lot but
my nasal passages are pretty clear. I really can't talk now because I sound like sandpaper.
When I try to get some sleep
I start coughing uncontrollably. It's a little like what I experienced in the nursing home.

And here are a few kuhai. This is a technical term that once appeared in now-obscure 13-century Japanese monographs and which means "Wow, that's almost a haiku." I don't exist.
But don't tell. I do the planning.
You do the work.
I take the credit. It's good for you.
It makes you happy. Manhattan loves you.
New York loves you.
America loves you. Poor girlfriend ...
She no has brain ... And we'll get there too.
Because we won't give up. Paris is merely romantic.
Manhattan is cosmopolitan. That was a terrible joke.
I'm ashamed of myself now.
I will never do that again. Truth is a work in progress.
We like our diamonds rough. How come she's your friend?
What do you share in common? It's like the death penalty.
Too many innocent people die. You have hurt me to the quick.
I thought you liked my stink. I can't marry someone like you.
I have a reputation to uphold. Holy motherfucking shit bricks.
And that is no figure of speech. I'll wash your eyes in liquid soap.
And let Scratchie lick them clean. I don't handle silence very well.
Nobody gets away with ignoring me.
Especially not asshole bureaucrats. You want me to MAKE OUT with a RODENT?
And then MAKE OUT with my GIRLFRIEND? Server clocks are not terribly reliable.
An error of 12 minutes is not uncommon. The East Village has thousands of birds.
You can see them in Tompkins Square Park.
We'll go there and feed the squirrels too. I like slightly dark, primitive folk music.
Starkly confronting life's eternal verities. Both of us have waited a long time for this.
Even though you're just a phoney, you phoney. We have Weather Channel here. It's incredible.
But not as incredible as Naked News used to be. Unambitious children tend to become their parents worst fears.
Parents who abdicate authority get the things they fear most. You are extremely insightful because you have read Rosenfels.
So you know how to deal with the problems that feminines have. If you had been here, you could have caught it in your outstretched hands.
And performed the ritual dance from The Firebird Suite with it as a prop. Will you be okay if I go limp over to the round table and have some fruit salad?
I wish you were here. I could make you feel sorry for me by exaggerating my limp. It's very impressive, especially his notes on which browsers support which features.
His expertise marks a new peak in the reckless extravagence of human obsessiveness. I'm beginning to think that the subject of mugs has certain inherent limitations, Ms. Bartlett.
Perhaps I shall need my deerstalker, for this is beginning to sound like a three-pipe problem.

Haiku and kuhai are fun, but to approach literary immortality you have to master the haikoan, in which haiku of equal length are merged and rearranged to convey unique and powerful insights. The infallibility of this procedure to produce deep truths can be proven mathematically using ancient theorems which only in the latter part of the 20th-century were shown to be fallacious.

Hey, we always have the I Ching. 19 pictures.
Smelly toes.
Big poopies.
Help me God. I feel sick now.
I just threw up.
My fingies hurt.
Kiss my fingies. He's curled up at my feeties.
He feels safer being near me.
He's only a fricken fur-face.
And I'm a great big dino man. Drunk spiders spin chaotic webs.
I think they do that on LSD too.
Come here and suck my lower lip,
so I can stare at your forehead. Things will work out. Don't worry.
I'll fill up your tummy with Dean.
It will make the achiness go away.
You could always wet the damn bed.

And, finally, we present the touchdown, which is a Twitter message that is exactly the maximum allowed length of 140 characters. Oh, crap. I'm tempted to make my tweets exactly 140 characters now.
What do you think we should call it when I succeed??
