This may have been done before, but not in a while...
Inspired by Svenfan's idea on another board:

Haikus are 3 line Japanese poems: 5 syllables, 7 syllables, then 5 again:

Lucy and Ricky:
"No, you can't be in my show"
Dude is just jealous


Little Ricky bangs
On the drums; Fred cannot sleep
Move to the country


Please contribute your ILL haikus!:)

The baby again

Move to the country
Big house and nice clean fresh air
Mertz's move there too

Lucy bakes some bread.
She has put in too much yeast.
Wow! What a long loaf!

One based on "Lucy Goes To The Hospital":

Everybody's calm.
But soon: "Ricky, this is it!"
Now they all panic!
