[Ed note: I mentioned that I couldn't make this scan according to the traditional 5-7-5 syllable pattern of Anglophone haiku; Reisen U. Inaba explained that unlike me but like most Americans they pronounce "our" as two syllables, /ˈˈaʊ(ə)r/, but were kind enough to supply this alternate version for the dialectally challenged:]

Grafield: Hello, I'm a cat Garfield: Your name? Grafield: Grafield Garfield: Wait right here Garfield: Call our lawyer here
