I'd do a haiku
if i knew, how to,


The limeraiku verse form (haiku structure, with internal rhymes in the limerick's A-A-B-B-A pattern), originated by Ted Pauker I believe. Example (by W. S. Brownlee):

Little Miss Muffet
Said: "Stuff it. No go. And so,
Hands off my tuffet."

The AWAD pooh-bah
went too far, but got (merde mot)
Away with hoo-ha.

Committed no crime
But yet I'm slapped. Spirit sapped.
Silent passes time.

Sorry guys. Best I could do on short notice. And to remain forever unread.
