Over at Otherstream Unlimited people are posting opinions and other stuff in short texts they are calling “haiku” simply because they consist of three lines, a seven-syllable one in the middle of two five-syllable ones.  There’s a lot more to haiku than that.  So I posted the following to the group:

.                                           haiku seem stupid
.                                           only to those dumb enough
.                                           to think this is one

Suchoon Mo then commented:
.
.                                            ha ha ha ha ha
.                                            ha ha ho ho ha ha ha
.                                            ho ho ha ha ha!

I may get something of consequence done today, but not here.
