Matsuo Bashō
Bad Haiku
Haiku #35784
A Haiku to Lament Lost Sleep:

3 o'clock A.M.
Crying awakes my slumber
The cat wants in now

The neighbors are rude
The cat yowls to be let in
Yet no one listens

Except our family
Yearning for our precious sleep
It will not shut up

As the night wind blows
And the cat cries like sadness
I am still awake
Haiku #35784
