So a client sends me this:

 

 

Washing machine not working
Very puzzling 
Water on floor 
Water still in machine 
Don't think it's spinning 
Please call

Seems like it is just a haiku that needs tweaking.  So I do, and a few seconds later send her this:
 

Rearranged your haikus to fit.  Added a syallable or two.  Took a liberty with the rules and counted "puzzling" as 3 sylables, since it is often pronounced as "puzzle-ing", especially in older movies maybe with Charlie Chan.

Seems like things sent from phones make great material for haikus.

Got this today from the same client as my previous post:

My dishwasher is broke.
Can you help!
Please call.

Add an "n" to "broke", combine two lines into one, and it turns into a haiku:

Can you help!  Please call.
