1/.
Canal Number Five
Cheap knock off pirate perfume
Bet it smells the same
2/.
Too many repeats
I don’t mean just on TV
Too many repeats
3/.
How has this happened
Throat cough kicked in so quickly
Ten minutes ago
4/.
Following mantra
Though your bus stop is right here
Go the extra mile
5/.
Dad, are we there yet?
No son, five months yet to Spring
Get back to sleep now.

Canal or Chanel? I hate most perfumes to be honest, would rather people wear essential oils and stuff. easier on my eyes and nose

It's a pun on Chanel by calling the rip off version canal, suggesting it is just bottled canal water as many perfumes virtually are.

@arthurchappell I am so impressed. I just have never mater the Haiku and I am not sure I ever could. Well done Arthur.

5/ On a long car trip I gave my daughter a roll of nickels. She could ask are we there yet, or how much longer, but it cost her a nickel. From L.A. To Washington State, she only asked twice.

@ElizabethWallace great idea - amazing how so many kids use the same 'are we there yet?' line

I like the last one in particular. What parent hasn't heard 'are we there yet?'
