Did I get here first?

Title: Foul Is the Guest aka the Haiku Report
Author: owleyes_arisen
Pairing: None
Challenge: Mission Report
Summary: The day Elizabeth received Colonel Sheppard's mission report as a series of Haiku. He must have been very bored.
Notes: The title actually comes from a poem I once read.



Colonel Sheppard must have reached a new low for boredom when he sent in his report.

Mission Report on MX-39R4:
Team Leader: John Sheppard
Scientific Advisor: Rodney McKay
Native Guide/Diplomat: Teyla Emmagen
Heavy Lifter: Ronon Dex

Went to the planet.
Nothing to report.
McKay wants a pay increase

He insists it is
Due recompense for
Mental trauma, the origin

Lying with all us
“Moronic half-wits”
Who mistake power couplings

For blenders, disco
Balls for ZPMs
And insanity
For brilliance.

Please, may I hit him?
I promise it will
Raise morale in Atlantis.

Frankly, Elizabeth was just relieved that it hadn't been origami.
