Here, something to get the ball rolling... don't be shy...

A hamster is for life
Not just for the holidays
So the hamster stays.
This haiku was brought to you by James James, who does not even have the excuse of drunkenness.
Owed two sandwiches...
Get this in yer tum
Thin sliced hamster in a bun
Yum, yum, yummy, yum
By Alf (age 2493⁄4) this haiku was found in an abandoned warehouse in Deptford and should have stayed there.
On my RFA
Comments fall like autumn leaves
Thank you for your vote

[edit] Or Limericks...
This is a limerick, not haiku
There once was a handsome HaitianIgor Garibaldi 20:30 28 January 2006 (UTC)
Another limerick:
- There once was a man from Vienna
- whose face looked just like Burnt Sienna;
- he'd stayed out too long
- in the hot midday sun;
- friends who see him now laugh like a hyena.
—Nightstallion (?) 09:20, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
- Sorry no haiku, only one of Issac Asimov's Lecherous Limericks:
- There once was an effete lazy fop,
- Who preferred his women on top.
- He said I'm no jerk,
- let them do the work.
- But if I get pregnant I'll stop.
