I would that haiku were a bannèd form; But 'tis, alas, a long-enduring meme Which yokes wordplay to its charms, makes a norm,

Than many poetic styles might seem.

What of the sonnet, fading voices cry,

What of the limerick's inbuilt prosody?

Nay, even verbose epic verse, they sigh,

But no - they won't - they'll take the well-trod theme.

Perhaps it's nothing to be faulted,

Perhaps all this that I have said is wrong;

Perhaps, in years to come, if unhalted,

Its structure will be immortalised in song?

But for me count this, haiku sure's no treat

Rather geeks, and liberal trolls, and deceit.
