"I Was An Abused Clown as a Child Writing Haikus on Earth Day" I was a clown that was abused My mother, she was cruel. She made me write haikus and such before I went to school. On Earth Day, she was adament about the way I dressed. She said I looked just like a clown, my brothers will attest. And Justin Kace you didn't know, my cousin, Justin Sayne, decided he would join me and we wrote this short refrain: "Mother, you're abusive. You really make us sick! We think that we will run away and split this scene real quick! Because you treat us badly and make us write haikus, you've given our whole family a bad case of the blues! You are abusive, Mother. And so we have to say, this whole damn Justin family is leaving on Earth Day." And on that note, we did just that, we up and split that joint. And Mother scowled and cursed us out and said we'd missed the point. "I make you write haikus because it is an exercise! It's 'sposed to make you think of life and stop your nasty lies! You boys are just a bunch of clowns, a fact you can't refute! So, get up off your lazy butts One day, you'll see the 'stute!" And so it was, on Earth Day when we ran away and split. We said, "We'll not take this abuse! We will have none of it!" And years went by and then one day we found that Mom was right, we ended up inside the 'stute when they turned out the light. The funny thing, I'm telling you, is that, for therapy, they made us write haikus at night! They say it sets us free! signed, Justin Thyme, recent 'Stute Escapee |

He can't run the Stute He's a recent escapee And he's defiant My cousin Justin Thyme's critical of his mom Cuz he hates Haiku He and Justin Kace Write only metered verses Their poetry rhymes They won't write Haiku Like their mother said to do Aunt Shirley U Jest Both Justin's have fled Last seen escaping the Stute But they shall be found And when they're returned They will write Haiku each day Till they get the point They'll just have to learn That it's really Justin Sayne Who shall run the Stute |

 Officer Justin Vented enters the scene to watch everyone closely. Don't give em any pity! Oh my gosh, Oh what a crime,  Haikus all the time? But wait, slow down, Did you say, You and Justin Kayce, You ran away? Oh geez, oh my, Oh what a crime, Disobeyed your mom, Naughty, Justin Thyme. But now you're paying, Your sentence, sublime, At the stute, Your punishment, my rhyme. Oh, and not to mention, HAIKUS ALL THE TIME! |
