“help me, i am trapped/ in a haiku factory/ save me, before they”

A haiku joke has been printed on many images:
   
“help me, i am trapped
in a haiku factory
save me, before they”

 
The haiku was posted on tumblr by r0wdyruff in December 2012.
   
“Help! I’m a prisoner in a Chinese bakery!” is a similar plea, but written on a fortune cookie and not about haikus.
         
 
Wikipedia: Haiku
Haiku (俳句, listen (help·info)) is a type of short form poetry originally from Japan. Traditional Japanese haiku consist of three phrases that contain a kireji, or “cutting word”, 17 on (phonetic units similar to syllables) in a 5, 7, 5 pattern, and a kigo, or seasonal reference. Similar poems that do not adhere to these rules are generally classified as senryū.

@eki_yandall Oh, we got editors. We just need content. I can’t believe the dude in the vid said “Trapped in a Haiku factory”

Help me I am stuck / In a haiku factory / Save me before they-
My first haiku. Unsure about factory (2 syllables [facto-ry] or 3 [fac-to-ry]?)

The Haiku Factory
By William Shaw
April 26, 2017
You don’t know me, but I bet you know my work:
 
Help me, I am trapped
In a haiku factory
Send help before they

 
That was one of mine.
 
I got a promotion for it: I do fortune cookies now, though I hope to move to fridge magnets.
