haiku help

[HoopsMcCann]

anyone remember the family ties haiku?

no, but I remember the argument over whether "smile" is a one- or two-syllable word.

dictionary says one, but I argue two. Of course, if I was right, that would make the haiku invalid.

In the South, it's two.

Everywhere else, it's one.

Smile is one syllable, I don't care what Khartoum the haiku laureate says.

COME BACK, KHARTOUM!

I remember the last line was Sharing laughter, love.
And there was a rhetorical question posed in Line 2.
maybe someone can glean something from that?
