Corrections Haiku
Students in two different corrections courses were asked to create a Haiku based on the course or myself. Technically, this is "pseudo-Haiku" as the only requirement was following the three line, 5-7-5 syllable pattern.

This student became known as "coffee spiller." Opening morning is a bad day to do something like that. |

The post-tour Dairy Queen stop was the best part of the prison tour for some students. |
| Poor Wisconsin man, Packers are gonna lose the Superbowl again |
I guess I should be wary of such a warning, given that it came from a fan of a team that has lost every Super Bowl game that it played. |

GO PACK GO! |
| Oh, to my surprise, A Packer fan I would find, Laughing at my pain |
That doesn't sound like something I would do... |
| You have a fun class, And are sometimes quite funny But it is just too early |
