Tally Hall

Tally Hall - Haiku lyrics

I have been trying

To write a haiku for you

Some things I just can’t do

Maybe you’re beyond

Ancient asian poetry

Or maybe it’s just me

I have been trying

To get this haiku just right all night

For you; alright I’m through

Maybe this poem

Was lost in the sauce we spilled

That never got refilled

I’ve never thought much

Of formulaic verse anyway

And rhymes are not my forte

I have been trying

To get this haiku just right all night

For you; alright I’m through

CHORUS:

I’m trying not to try too hard

But you’re hard to write down right

So I pen these tried attempts

At haikus for you tonight

Lah dah dee diddum

Lah dah dee doom doo ditto

Dum doo lah dee doh

There, that’s sufficient

I wrote a haiku for you

Well I tried at least, and that’s not so bad

I’m working here; can that be said for you

CHORUS

Words don’t work like Webster says

They trip me up all night

I’m just trying to write for you

But you’re hard to write down right
