Something Like It

Life, or something like it: random thoughts, recollected and preserved; of little or no value.

How Not to Write a Haiku

Is this a good haiku?
Not really, I am afraid.
(It only thinks it is).

What about this?
Is it any better?
Nope. Negative.

This is a haiku.
Five-Seven-Five: seventeen
Syllables in all.
