This is the first time I will try to write some haiku/senryu with a smile or humour. Haiku and Senryu were always in the classical Japanese literature based on humour. So I have to try this. It will not be easy for me, because I am not such a guy with jokes and humour. I am a serious guy when it's about haiku (my passion), but ... well I never have run away for a challenge ... so let's go.
First I would like to give a haiku by Basho in which I think you can see humour:
ought one laugh or cry
when my Morning Glory
withers up
Two by myself:
laugh at me
when I put my glasses on
I am an old man
such a hot day
my shadow needs to cool down
under the willow
Well ... I hope you did laugh :)
Sincerely,

refreshing Haiku, enjoyed the smile.
I think that you did an excellent job at being humorous!! I laughed anyway. Thanks for sharing. Grins, Terri
excellent. haikus are much harder than most people give them credit for, and yours are great!
one of my favorite haikus:
Living in the town
One must have money even
To melt the snow down!
- Issa
