Spaiku!
Below is an excerpt from The Covert Comic's recent work Real Men Don't Get Published (many parts of which are even better than this, if such a thing is imaginable.)
Spaiku CIA Haiku Poetry By John Alejandro King
The following is a selection of Haiku poems I’ve written, usually while attending CIA intelligence briefings. These poems are composed according to well-known rules of Japanese Haiku poetry (seventeen syllables in a 5-7-5 verse structure, subtlety of style, etc.). They are masterful. Since the subject of these poems is life at CIA, I’ve decided to name the entire selection Spaiku. I’d like to thank everyone in advance for loving these poems of mine!
Walk the dark hallway A-Wing, Headquarters Ground Floor ... Hey, is that Elvis?
I wake to blackness The intelligence briefing Long since concluded
So you want to spy? Come to my place; we'll practice Penetration ops
Except for briefings After lunch, CIA does Not practice torture
Not without reason Are counterintelligence Officers called this
Third World press reports: No truth to charge CIA Controls Third World press
Top secret tech op: Re-program spy satellite To observe nude babe
Big covert ops flap Foreign government toppled Wrong country - my bad!
CIA spokesman Denies Agency sold crack Like my new golf clubs?
A two-year tour in FBI Liaison? Where's My suicide pill?
Lee Harvey Oswald Did not kill JFK; Lee Told me so last week
President wants coup In some place called 'Canada' Someone find a map
