Caveat: Poem #2229 “개”

ㅁ
귀찮안 개는
나무를 너무 봐요.
야, 왜 그렇게?

– a pseudo-haiku in elementary Korean. I composed it in my head (while walking the dog) with my remnants of active vocabulary, and it seems like I got the grammar right, but I found I had to look up various words’ spellings to write it down. My literacy skills are even rustier than my speaking/listening skills.

Here is a translation into English, retaining the haiku form:

An annoying dog
looking at too many trees.
Hey, why be like that?
