Haiku Friday: Oops! Got that one wrong

 

I've been really wrong about some stuff lately.
 
My bracket had Purdue winning the tournament.
 
And when I was visiting my dad in the hospital, the cardiologist mentioned a heart catheter. "Right, that's when they have a tube with a camera at the end go into the heart valves? Or a tiny submarine?"
 
The doctor seemed bemused. "No, it's just a little tube. No tiny camera or submarine."
 
I realized later that my mistake was based on a grievous misunderstanding of a Magic School Bus episode. Oops!
 
So let's haiku about that this week-- those moments where we were just kinda wrong. Here, I will go first:
 
Yeah, I chose Purdue
And Kansas. Baylor. Marquette.
Not looking so good.
 
Now it is your turn! Just use the 5//7/5 syllable formula and have some fun!

Oops—let’s try with proper spacing!

You’re overreacting, dude.

First time making bread
Kneaded, waited, dough still flat
Yeast had expired
 
I thought she would last
Forever, but I was wrong,
Wasn’t the first time.
