"Vein! Artery! Come Here!"

Vein sighed. "What does he want now? I swear, if I have to look at another fashion design for Cadaver, I'm gonna kill myself!"

"Now if you're going to kill yourself, you know that Lordy Lossy is just gonna resurrect you and make you look at more designs," said Artery. "Though I also wish he'd be through with this phase."

Vein and Artery headed to Lord Loss' chambers, dreading having to look at clothing designs and numerous racks of fabric. When they got there, they got the shock of their lives ( i suppose). There were no stray papers and pencils, no plaid or flower-print or pola dot patterns anywhere in sight.

"Er, boss, where are all yer things?" asked Vein with a smile on his face. Artery nodded while admiring the bloodstained webs as if they were going to be replaced by the clothing and fabric again.

"Oh, that crap? I threw it out. Fashion design was sooooo last century. I've moved on the a less feminin hobby."

Suddenly the bloodied webs and other demonic stuff in the room disappeared--much to Artery's disappointment, "AHH! No, come back!!"--and were replaced by bamboo mats and Japanese artwork. A slimy and greasy haired panda bear with evil, red eyes, munching on a tiger. Lord Loss cleared his throat and began speaking in a very sophisticated way.

"Feed me your sorrows.

"Give me your painful hurt.

"Give it to me now."

Artery pouted. "I think I liked the fashion phase better.," he grumbled.

Vein looked uneasy, "Er, boss? What was that?"

Lord Loss smiled down at them. "Did you like it? It was a haiku. Japanese poetry. I was recently in Osaka, devouring a few lonely souls and I discovered I very much enjoyed the poetry one of the civilians were reciting."

Artery stared blankly. "A haik-a-whadda?"

Lord Loss sighed. "You simple minded familiar. It's a haiku. A Japanese artfor--you know what? Nevermind. I feel a haiku coming on.

"I am good at chess.

"I really like to play it.
"Chess is a good game."

Vein shook is head at his master's patheticness. He wasn't good at the so-called haiku's at all.

"A sad human sits.

"I torture the sad human.

"A yummy human."

"Goodness my poor ears.

"The boss is bad at haiku's.

"I wish he would stop," Artery mumbled his own little haiku. Vein nodded in agreement.

"Blood seeps down the webs.

"Grubbs screams to his daddy.

"I love this sadness."

"Hey, uh, boss. We gonna go now. You just keep workin' on your hukais," Vein said as he and Artery quickly backed out of the room.

"The boos needs to stick to torturing innocent human beings," Artery said as they headed to their own chambers. Lord Loss' voice could still be heard throughout the demonic kingdom, not that it bothered the other demons since they had ear plugs.

"The painful sorrows.

"The delightful screams of hurt.

"Gosh, I love my job...."
