Author's Notes

I am very likely to add more haiku to each story every time I add a new season of "D.W. and Brain Haiku" because many similarities between D.W. and Brain are seasons apart.

However, don't expect too many haiku about season 5 because for one thing, it's not one of my favorite seasons, and for another, I haven't found very many allusions or parallels that were either inspired by a scenario from a previous season or inspired by a scenario from this season.

(See previous seasons of "D.W. and Brain Haiku" for details about haiku endings.)
