A/N More haiku for you! Read and Review! This is my shoe! Okay, I'm not crazy really. The haiku has gone to my head. By the way, this is something I've been wanting to do for ages, and it is loosely based on a book and website by the name of 'Haiku Mama". It's funny. Check it out.
He was barely gone
When another face appeared
Needing my guidance
"What is it, Henry?"
More Lab Rats in my office –
Becoming a trend
"I'm totally swamped..."
Sighs deep, emphasising point
"I need help, Boss."
"I can loan you Greg.
Or perhaps the day-shift guy,
Whatever his name."
"It's just not enough.
A vacation would be nice
And a pay rise, too"
He must be dreaming.
"It's not always this hectic
Patience, Grasshopper."
He sat it the chair
Under-eye-bags shown by lamp
Poor, tired Lab Rat.
"Toxicology:
It isn't all fun and games,
But I wouldn't switch."
"Always good to know
Believe it or not, Lab Rats
Are hard to come by."
"Thanks for your time, Gris.
I guess a break was needed.
I feel better now."
He needed to vent
My hourly rate too low –
I counsel for free.
He smiled, and then left
And I was alone again,
To do my crossword
More interruptions?
They must think I'm not busy
But what do they know?
