1/. Only five minutes To write a haiku Till library shuts 2/. Dali offended Mutant Turtles snub his name Warhol doesn't care 3/. Silent mode thunder Avoids frightening our cats Dimmer switch lightning 4/. Azure Summer sky Arrives prematurely No one complaining. 5/. Winter starts early Moaning throughout the kingdom Take rough with the smooth. Arthur Chappell
