five syllables start
then seven in middle line
and five make haiku.

japanese poems
started centuries ago
basho wrote them first:

"an ancient pond
a frog jumps in
the sound of water"

look, it's translated
besides, not all haiku need
seventeen syllab

I guess, in these days
basho's original would be performed
slightly differently:

#!/usr/bin/basho
mv frog ancient_pond
echo "Splash!"
