Haikus

Please wait at the door \nYou cannot come in today \nBut we love your face

No is such a word \nWe prefer to say not yet \nSmile as you walk back

Turned away so well \nYou think you won the battle \nGate remains locked tight

We bow as we close \nGate is locked with gentle words \nYou cannot come in

Smile and say hello \nWhile the carbon unit begs \nDoor will stay shut tight

Welcome to the hall \nYou must turn around right now \nThank you for your time
