So we at Broke Ass HQ, like many of you, often spend time shooting the shit and coming up with new ideas to make you laugh, cry, save money and live your life. The haiku, a Japanese form of poetry, is a beautiful and simplistic way to show your affection [try it on your girlfriend sometime when you can't afford dinner] or contempt for something in a succinct and perfect pattern. Three lines, 17 syllables and a whole lot of potential, the haiku is gaining momentum.  Consider it old school twitter (speaking of which, add us here).

This time we are saluting cheap Chinese food.  It has single handedly saved the life of many a broke-ass while simultaneously ruining their day.  Nothing is worse than trying to act as a normal, functioning member of society, while having to run to the bathroom every 15 minutes.  Then again, nothing is better than Chinese leftovers the following day.

Ode to Cheap Chinese Food

So unnatural
Orange, glowing M.S.G.
Hangover cure gold
