I knew today was gonna be my day. Upon visiting Amazon Mechanical Turk for a laugh and maybe a little money, I happened upon someone who was willing to pay people to “write a haiku poem about Mr. T from the A-Team.”
While I have to question if it’s wise to let unqualified people write haikus about Mr. T, I knew that if anyone was qualified for such a task, I’d be among the top 800,000. So I took a stab at it. Here, then, is the greatest Mr. T haiku ever written:
T walks into room
Suckas and fools are pitied
Jibba jabba stops
