Kobayashi Issa
Asked how old he was
by Kobayashi Issa
Asked how old he was,
the boy in the new kimono
stretched out all five fingers.

That wren
In the thicket's shade
The toad! It looks like
The pheasant cries
Napped half the day
Not very anxious
Visiting the graves
Under my house
In these latter-day
Under the image of Buddha
