Captcha


If I'm not human,
maybe I can't write haiku.
Who would know for sure?

At the office, I received email from a colleague in Annapolis, saying that a security vulnerability on the website had been patched by the introduction of a captcha – one of those things that only humans are supposed to be able to do, but which are often hard for this particular human to do. Some of the engineers in Annapolis like to put little haiku poems into their release notifications.  This one didn’t have a haiku, so I wrote this and sent it back to him.
