Angry Haiku

I'm embarassed that today I have been expressing my frustration with Verizon with sarcastic and spiteful forum posts. I've calmed down a bit, and have decided instead to communicate my displeasure through the ancient Mayan art of Haiku poetry...

forty five minutes

of mind numbing hold music

got disconnected

you made me miss it...

Game of Thrones season premier

this nerd won't forget

(speaking of which,

the blonde chick with the dragon

is incredible)

I said call my cell

fifty calls to my house phone

where's that Comcast card?

It's been a whole month

you can't fix a simple glitch

and can't explain why

my agent sounds hot

i'd like to ask her number

but I smell today

Hate to rain sake' on your parade, but Haiku is a Japanese art form and has nothing to do with ancient Central American civilizations.  Mayan civilization thrived thousands of miles east of Tokyo:

What is your actual issue? Is it something other users on this peer-to-peer support board can help with, or are you just here to vent?

Also, this might just be my failing, but I'm not seeing the 5th syllable in the (speaking of which, line. I know how the words are pronounced is very key in poetry, as I'm a fan of Shakespeare. Can you help me out?
