‘Calculator haikus’, by Amos Latteier
Latteier wrote haikus by using the numbers on calculators to form words and then turning the calculator upside down.
“The calculator vocabulary is rather limited. I have come up with 118 words. I wrote a program to search the dictionary and select words that can be spelled using the letters that can be formed on a calculator. Among these are such choice words as gigolo, besiege, and ghee.”
Here’s one:
“Illegible blob
Legless eggshell oozes oil
Elegize his loss
Hellish shoe is beige
I slosh soil, slog hill
Hobble, oh high heel”
