A Haiku is a form of poetry, consisting of 17 syllables, in three phrases of 5, 7, and 5 syllables respectively. Studies have shown that it is the most effective way of relaying safety warnings and information.
Examples
Post Modern
Don't read this Haiku
No seriously just stop
And now it's too late
I read your haiku
Now life seems strangely better
Oh god, that's so sad
I take off from work
For three days and things get strange.
Must be status quo.
Ramses won't run now
AGDL's out of memory
So send more haikus
Classics
No squeaky chickens
The sawzall took care of that
Now there's only you.
Think for five seconds.
Be safe, use dirty handrail.
Bird Flu kills us all.
Hot coffee burns flesh,
Cold coffee poisons the soul,
At least we’re awake.
Walk down the stairway.
Think 5 before proceeding.
Take another step.
Parking lot danger.
Sign says cars may be present.
Safety is restored.
A short walk for food;
Watch for expired rodents;
Dead bat in garage!
New Vending Machines
Now full of Styrofoam blocks
Do not consume them!
From a Locked Room
Beeping Emits Constantly
Workers Turn Insane
Good Friday today
But going to work makes it bad
Suddenly I'm sick
Master the technique
Before erring foolishly.
It's five-SEVEN-five
Ok smarty pants
But if I leave the but off
You must wear the joke
Sitting on the grass
Know the local botany
Poison ivy strikes
This meeting won't end
This guy just keeps on talking
Emil is the bomb.
The fake thrusters fire
My CPU gets warmer
All else remains cold.
In the FMLab
Interminable Meetings
Participants snooze
Early in the morn
Chirpy birds waking me up
Where's my BB gun?
New light in stairwell
Extreme Caution Demanded
Burning rays blind all
Digging for space gold
Living in a can for years
I need a shower
X class solar flare
Ham radio not working
Shelter at Starbucks
One lone orange cone
In the middle of the floor
Don't trip over it
