    I saw patpowers' comment and wanted to check this out.
    I've seen it before but had no time to comment.

    I like the sense of humour in this pleasant haiku.
    it's set up well and has a good twist

    What an AHA moment, and a beautiful haiku you have created. Now I hear in many cultures it is very politie to burp after a meal-but my mother didn't go for that at home.

    Thank you for a lovely haiku.

    Hi Bear! I am not usually a big fan of haiku but this is really good. You've managed to say a lot in very few words.
