Box Office Haiku

The advertisement

Didn’t suggest you’d get your

Fussy heart’s desire.

It’s not a hate crime

That there’s no discount for you.

Glibness becomes you.

“It’s your Zolo Book!
Z! O! L! O! Oh. Wait. That’s
Two Thousand and Ten.”

“Is there a halftime?”
It’s a play, it’s not football.
There’s no halftime here.

Hello, young lovers!
I want to give you your change.
Please stop sucking face.

The box officer
never wants to hear you make
“that’s what she said” jokes.

If you don’t want me
To cash your check today, then
Wait to send it in.

Once in a while
Something stinks in the hallway.
Someone’s food is gross.

Tickets for Dunne, please?
No, that’s not me, that’s my ex–
but he won’t miss them!

Well of course you may
Exchange at the last minute.
Friends cancelled? Oh well.
