SPAM Haiku: Love

SHAM-89.
I kissed you at lunch,
Your lips still shiny from the
Hot, freshly fried slice.

SHAM-90.
I sent her ninety
SPAM haiku to show my love.
She sent me a shrink.

SHAM-101.
Supermarket aisle.
We reached for the same SPAM can.
We exchanged numbers.

SHAM-102.
You carved my figure
From the block of SPAM. Love or
Infatuation?

SHAM-103.
The first time we kissed:
Your cheeks flushed a deep SPAM pink,
Your lips soft, hungry.

SHAM-104.
I buried the ring
Inside a loaf. You took a
Bite, spat, then said, "Yes!"

SHAM-105.
Wedding catered by
Hormel. Reception marred by
Sudden illnesses.

SHAM-106.
Honeymoon in France.
Finally got to try the
Spamme frites, Spamme l'orange.

SHAM-107.
Four children later
We run out of things to say.
"Price of SPAM is up."

SHAM-108.
"Breakfast in bed, love."
"What is it, dear?" "Refried SPAM."
You filed for divorce.

SHAM-109.
The first nights were bad.
Woke up from a SPAM nightmare--
But you were not there.

SHAM-110.
I live alone now.
I keep a cat for comfort.
She does not eat SPAM.

SHAM-111.
Supermarket aisle.
I saw her reach for a SPAM.
I turned, walked away.

it can't find a porcine mate
it cries in silence
