The American Revolution:
Outraged colonists
Were taxed too much on tea so,
They kicked Britian's a**.
The Great Depression:
People out of work,
TV not invented.
You'd be depressed too.
Nuclear Physics:
Splitting an atom
Will help power a city
Or Blow it to bits.
Ernest Hemingway:
Fighting in wars and
Fishing and bullfighting are
All best done while drunk.
Art Histroy:
Wonderful portriats
Have been replaced through time by
Spit on a canvas.
Romeo and Juliet:
Two star-crossed lovers
Meet with painfully sad deaths.
That's entertainment!
Astronomy:
The solar system
Consists of nine planets, but
Not Vulcan, you geek.
Charles Dickens:
Poor British children
Survive tragic events, but
Only if they're cute
Haiku:
Japanese poems
Are so very short that they
Can't get the point a-----.
If they're not 5-7-5 it's not my fault, they were taken from MADmag
(issue #417, May 2002).

good job! now you just defeated the point of a haiku and joke by adding a 6th syllable to the last line.
