### Haiku #37

Oh, roses are red,
violence is too, I make things
dead, and write haiku.
(Those who complain that "violence" actually has three syllables, can - in the words of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II - "suck it.")

  @ j.m.: I thought it was two syllables also, but Mr. Webster seems to think otherwise. He sure shoots down a lot of otherwise acceptable poetry.
