Maybe it's my southern dialect, but I only count 7 syllables in the first line.
five 'bots tangling with pasta
1 1 2 1 2
Can someone help me out here?
So if we assume that adding "Ro" to the "'bots" in first line would make the haiku correct, and the shovel actually points to "RO" and not "ORO", the we have a game piece obsessed with completing the haiku! Er... what's that mean?
