George Takei :verified: 🏳️‍🌈🖖🏽

I’m Japanese American, and I would have fallen for this!

@kaitou @georgetakei in this context, that means "funny" and not "interesting" right?

@georgetakei
Haiku, aka three-liner, is probably the operative word here.

@georgetakei proposed alt text:

Knock knock!!!

Who's there?

Hike.

Hike who?

Unsuspecting son.
Dad waiting with bated breath.
Sets the perfect trap.

@dr2chase @georgetakei I tried this on my mid-30's son just now. He replied:

"Cute. But no reference to the seasons, so not a haiku 😝"

@georgetakei Oh man, this is going into my permanent archives.

@Lulukaros @georgetakei "Hike who" sounds like "haiku", and the dad's final reply is a haiku (albeit one without a seasonal reference)

@georgetakei
I am just taking a moment to appreciate a dad who baits his joke but, not his breath :-)

A haiku must contain an observation of the natural world. This is not a haiku.
