[please note: Day 4 on this gimmick. Who are the Backtalkers? The more time I spend translating them the more curious I become about them. What would they have been like in the world before newspapers set up a phoneline for the purpose of receiving anonymous calls for a messageboard collumn? At least most of this batch isn’t that bad. But again, no punchlines have been added. All I did was change the wording to fit the haiku form. I don’t know how serious any of these people are, so there is the possibility that this is satirizing satire or trolling. Probably not though. Visit the Sun’s page for original wording. http://www.lowellsun.com/opinion/ci_26137299/backtalk-7-16-2014 ]
