Hokey Haiku #1

Time for a new category here at the Refuge, namely "Hokey Haiku". It's just a fun way to communicate a simple thought or observation of the day in a mere 17 syllables. Don't expect Robert Frost or e.e.cummings though.

Summer's vanishing
Where is my calculator?
The semester starts

Yep. I'm back on campus.

I could sit here and opine all night long,
but I ask you,
What's the point?

Gimmie a grinder with double meat
and double cheese,

While Autumn prepares
Summer lolls like a young girl
The weather is warm

Bill, I like your entries, but usually Haiku is taken as three lines of 5-7-5 syllables to achieve the 17 total. But I note that the rules have weaken over the years (and a syllable is only an approximation to the Japanese sound count anyway).

Learning? Not really.
Another year of school means
More hoops to jump through.
