Hey, your haiku doesn't rhyme.  Or have the right number of anapests.
Or mention a man from Nansquicket who kept in his pocket a cricket.
Or use only six-letter words.

And now, I will demonstrate my own awesome linguismatastical skills
by writing a poem which rhymes perfectly, has a uniform meter, and
doesn't drone on and on forever like Shakespeare:


           JAMES "KIBO" PARRY PRESENTS A POEM:

           UNTITLED POEM TITLED "UNTITLED",
           THE FIRST POEM IN A LIMITED SERIES OF 50,000

           Eat
           meat!

           THIS POEM IS COPYRIGHT (C) 2005 JAMES "KIBO" PARRY
           ALL RIGHTS RESERVED -- TODOS LOS DERECHOS RESERVADOS.
           IF YOU WANT TO FILM A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE BASED ON
           ON MY POEM, LICENSING FEES START AT FIFTY MILLION DOLLARS.
           I BET YOU DIDN'T EVEN NOTICE THE EXTRA WORD IN THE
           THE PREVIOUS SENTENCE BECAUSE EVERYONE IN THE WORLD EXCEPT FOR
           FOR ME ALWAYS FALLS FOR THAT TRICK.  HAW HAW, I AM SO
           SO SMART.


See?  World's shortest and therefore best poem.  All other things
being equal, this poem is better because if everything else is equal
then all the other stuff in the Universe is just the same as all
the other stuff in the Universe and therefore more boring than me.

                                           -- K.

                                              Note that my last sentence
                                              of capitals began with an
                                              even simpler two-word poem
                                              using the rhyme scheme "A=A".
