The Secret to Achieving Your Goals: Don't Tell Anyone
OK... Want to hear a whacky theory that will change the way you view life? Of course you do, that's why you're reading. It’s a simple idea that I’m going to make even more simple by using cartoons, just like a very serious person would do in a Ph.D. paper. Probably.

Very effective haiku. The 'quick' poem invokes the 'quick' veggies. Apparently, the haiku format works even better in English than it does in Japanese.
