MP3 recording [2.3M]
Most of this piece is pre-recorded music. The onstage PERFORMER speaks the lines in BLUE
Come on, everybody! Let’s all Haiku!
You haiku for me, and I’ll haiku for you!
It’s the poesy sensation, that’s sweeping the nation…
…of Japan!
So do the 5-7-5! You go, girl! You da man!
(possibly a brief dance break? Dancers do the 5-7-5 dance move?)
Listen up, you’re gonna need a line of poetry with
Five syllables first.
You mean like this one?
And then a set of seven
So maybe something like this.
Five more and you’re done.
Stick a fork in me.
You see! You just haiku’ed, you poetical bastard!
It takes a minute to learn. And a minute to master!
It’s easy as pie
Come on and give it a try
Let the haiku’s fly!
(second singer does a haiku?)
That’s it, you got it! You’re haikuing like a pro.
5-7-5 it one more time
before we drive you home.
Five syllables first
The yellow bird sings
And then a set of seven
It rocks the bars of its cage
Five more and you’re done
Crazy fucking bird.
