Thanks for nailing it perfectly. When I'd read it, I was thinking,
no...that's not haiku, too many words in it...but it's so familiar
....what from? And yep you hit it. Yoda Talk, that was.

Star Wars movie! In one/some of the sequels. Small muppet character with
floppy ears and big eyes (also supposed to have the wisdom of say a highend
oriental martial arts master).

The way Yoda talked, the word-sets in his sentences were always rearranged.
Reminded me of some times past when trying to listen to wayward hippies
who'd eaten too much LSD for breakfast.

For example: "Dwell on the could haves, we must not. Focus on the
solution, we must."

Presumably his sentences were put into English conventional order to
make the German translation sound strange :-)

"Departure from normal word order for the sake of emphasis.

"Anastrophe is most often a synonym for hyperbaton, but is
occasionally referred to as a more specific instance of hyperbaton:
the changing of the position of only a single word."

Or in this case, humor. Or perhaps appearance psuedo-wisdom (Yoda,
complements of the Spielburg empire).

That I asked, sorry I am. Thought, I did, that apostrophe, mis-spelled he
had.
