Haikus from The Importance of Being Earnest by Oscar Wilde


[Taking it from case.]
'Mr. Ernest Worthing, B.
4, The Albany.'

I hope to-morrow
will be a fine day, Lane. Lane.
It never is, sir.

I don't see much fun
in being christened along
with other babies.

Yes, as usual.
[Merriman begins to clear
table and lay cloth.

No one ever does,
except vegetarians
and people like that.
