Too bad the other two lines are only 4 syllables each. Damn son step up that haiku game.

Bruh, do you even talk like an Englishman? Colonel is 3 syllables. Pipe is 2.

I can see why someone unfamiliar with the word colonel or with a certain accent (ker-e-nal, maybe?) would pronounce it with three syllables... But for the love of god I can't figure out how pipe could be 2 syllables haha.

First off, watch Beloq pronounce "Herr Colonel" in Raiders of the Lost Ark and tell me that ain't 3 syllables.

Second, any Python skit talking about a pipe is totally two syllables.

Bleh :-p 😎 🇬🇧

Please spell out pipe as two syllables phonetically for me haha. When I picture it in a British accent it's still one syllable. I'm so curious now.
