I have been trying
                       
To write a haiku for you
               
Some things I just can’t do


                    
Maybe you’re beyond
                    
Ancient asian poetry
        
Or maybe it’s just me


 
I have been trying
                                
To get this haiku just right all night
                   
For you; alright I’m through


 
Maybe this poem
                               
Was lost in the sauce we spilled
           
That never got refilled


 
I’ve never thought much
                        
Of formulaic verse anyway
               
And rhymes are not my forte


 
I have been trying
                                
To get this haiku just right all night
                   
For you; alright I’m through


CHORUS:
                       
I’m trying not to try too hard
                            
But you’re hard to write down right
                     
So I pen these tried attempts
                       
At haikus for you tonight


SOLO:
       (x2)


 
Lah dah dee diddum
                         
Lah dah dee doom doo ditto
            
Dum doo lah dee doh


            (N..)
There, that’s sufficient
                     
I wrote a haiku for you
                                   
Well I tried at least, and that’s not so bad
                        
I’m working here; can that be said for you


CHORUS:
                       
I’m trying not to try too hard
                            
But you’re hard to write down right
                     
So I pen these tried attempts
                       
At haikus for you tonight


                           
Words don’t work like Webster says
                    
They trip me up all night
                          
I’m just trying to write for you
                             
But you’re hard to write down right
