Box Office Haiku

While you um and ah

The season will stay sold out.

Um: No magic word.

I know, amazing,

But they went on sale last year.

You’re his biggest fan?

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.

Your bland aggression

And my complete indifference

Can do this all night.

It falls to me to

Offset the stupidity

Of the great unwashed.
