Lyrics
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 fort(e) I have been trying To get this haiku just right all night For you; alright I'm through 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 Lah dah dee diddum Lah dah dah dum doo ditto Dum doo lah dee doh There, that's sufficient I wrote a haiku for you (He 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? 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
