Haikus can be fun
But they can be boring too
And hipsters are dumb
Siobhan Adcock
Wrote a book combining both
The results are mixed
It is fun to see
The world’s most pretentious folk
Be skewered for it
Especially by
A fellow hipster to boot
They had it coming
Unfortunately
Adcock is often too nice
Makes it feel gutless
Without some sharp teeth
The clever idea wanes
Waste of intellect
Where there could have been
A comment on stupid trends
There is no substance
It’s still well done though
And the poems made me laugh
Good to read with drink
Cool illustrations
And well done presentation
Add to the package
Ultimately, though
The aesthetic can’t save it
Talent still wasted
It’s kind of funny
How much it’s like its subject
Clever but petty
