Though we can enjoy
Fun, well-written poetry
By the fine Haiku
It is just absurd
That they get a shiny badge
For nothing but this
We should not commend
Something of no consequence
Even if it’s fun
Recognizing, too,
That “Admiring afar”
Has six syllables
(Usually, mind you -
Unless you’re a hillbilly
But you’re likely not)
Which just goes against
The traditional meter
Of five-seven-five
This misuse of words
Is found in the first line of
Their commendation
Which, for reference, is
Also written, fittingly,
In the haiku form
If someone should list
Haiku’s other achievements
Comprehensively
One might find that they
Deserve recognition by
This community
Sadly, due to this,
The Security Council
Should not let this stand
Thus, Commend Haiku
By the SC’s hand, will be
Rendered null and void.
