Jimmy cracked blue corn

Ground them fine for tortillas

Choked on corn dust, died

Why wasn't he wearing an N95 mask???

He was showing off to his friends. They had a little competition: who was the fastest at cracking, grinding, making 10 tortillas. He was not a very careful fella. Plus, he died before he got to the tortilla making part.

I love it, at least he died huffing the best corn color.

This one today, and the one I wrote very late last night for Sunday's "subzero" prompt are part of my new "True Life" brand of haikus. Available at all major retailers....

I like that idea! Slap them on shot glasses and I think you have a hit on your hands.

That's actually a good idea.

Is it? Lol, I just say stuff idk 😜

No, it's a good collector's item and wacky haikus would be perfect for drinking. Writers like to drink so...I imagine haiku readers also enjoy drinking. Or something....

Honeygloom's avatar

Writers do like to drink, poets especially.

Hooked on Cracked, went Mad

Lampooned by society

How I got my start

**I actually wrote for Cracked and National Lampoon. But never Mad. Always rejected by those bast-- them.

That’s cool! I used to read Cracked all the time many years ago.
