Tim was all proud of himself for composing a haiku away message:

I have Time to kill-
What ever shall I do now?
Play some basketball.

So I countered with my own:

My work is postponed.
Sitting at the computer
I am eating lunch.

And the following conversation ensued (edited for punctuation and IM line order issues):

Me: I may do all my away messages in haiku.

Tim:    you do that
Tim:    i'll match you

Me:  Every single one.
    All of them will be haikus.
    You may if you like.
    
Tim:    ha.

Me:  (that was one, too!)
Me: plural of haiku = haiku?

Tim:    I noticed, I did.
    You are very clever now.
    I don't think so, no.
    
Me:  I suspect something.
    Are you counting on your hands?
    'Cause for sure I was.
    
Tim:    Haha, you are right.
    I need to stop this now, yes.
    
Me:  One more line you need,
    Then your haiku will be done.
    
Tim:    I play AOE.

Me:  Go play your game now.

Tim:    This is so much fun.
    I do not want to stop, ever.
    But we must sometimes.
    
Me:  I know. Isn't it?
    I must tell Jennifer.
    She will do it too.
    
Tim:    She will love it much.
    She won't be able to stop,
    Just like we cannot.
    
Me:  Stop starting haikus!
    I think you are too smart, my friend.
    You are just like me.
    
Tim:    I am cracking up.
    This is not good at all.
    I am leaving now.
    
Me:  I am laughing too.
    I can't keep from making these.
    One more line I need.
    
Me: There.

Tim:    haha.

Tim:    Enough of that junk.

Me:  AUGH
Me: stop it.
