"Split" Haiku by Dennis Lange

“Split” Haiku by Dennis Lange

Banana split (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

Do you want
A banana split?
No, the whole.

——————–

Diagnosed:
A splitting headache
From sharing

——————–

Laughing when
He split his britches
And then cried.

——————–

Split milk?
Moses crossed the bowl?
Oh, spilt milk!

——————–

That was it.
I’m out of haiku
So, let’s split.

——————–

* The haiku I write are lines of 3-5-3 syllables instead of 5-7-5.
See Haiku article here for explanation, if needed:

Hahhaha, well done, I really enjoyed reading these, and got some good chuckles, too! And, btw, that looks soooo good! YUM!

  Yes, 3 scoops of ice cream laid out in a row with the sprinkles and the banana do look very inviting. Oh! It’s almost supper time and I’m getting hungry!

That picture actually kind of looks gross.

  I thought so at first glance, too.
  However, opinions appear to be “split” on the subject!

That banana spit is the splitting image of a skinned turtle. How a delicious treat can look like something repulsive!

There’s a football team – used to be in Yugoslavia, now perhaps Croatia – called Hadjuk Split. This makes a welcome difference from all those boring teams called United.

  I’ve never seen a turtle skinned so I’ll have to take your word for it.
