FOUND POETRY

Many years later, I fess up as to why I would invent a poetic form named "hay(na)ku": here's the reason:


Just kidding.  That's in Philippines (thanks for finding it, Krip Yuson) and the text surrounding "Heinakuh" can be translated as:

What a bummer, Dear.
There's no more beer.

Please note I tried to translate it poetically viz something I rarely use: rhyme.  That hay(na)ku: it expands your mind.

Love,
Eileen
