MN is grumpy;
the collective mood bitter.
Come and chill out here.

Is it really?
I have not noticed that
I must be oblivious

Perhaps just me then.
I breathe deeply, then exhale.
It doesn't help. Arse.

I keep well away
From anything contentious
I am a wuss

Olive, they don't rhyme.

Five, seven, five. See?

Composing haiku
Definitely calms me down.
Bloody pointless, though.

counting under breath!

while sounding the syllables
