(Not Quite) Daily Haiku for You #75

I’m in Thanksgiving holiday planning mode today. Can I turn it into a haiku for you?

Holiday planning,
Managing all those schedules*.
What are we doing?


*Okay, does schedule have two syllables or three? I asked Jen and she didn’t know either. I then asked Google and the answer is apparently both.

‘Schedule’ can be three syllables or two syllables.  The first syllable is stressed:  sche-, sche-.  So it can either be ‘schedule’ (sche-du-le) or simply ‘schedule’ (sche-dule). 

https://rachelsenglish.com/pronounce-schedule/#:~:text=’Schedule’%20can%20be%20three%20syllables,’%20(sche-dule).

In this haiku it is two syllables. If you can’t wrap your brain around that and need it to be three, then replace the second line with, “Manage all those schedules.” That will work for the haiku rules.
