I can't answer @Dimcairien Luiniel or @Tarawen with a proper haiku, but after two days of good behaviour from Harold, we figured he'd be okay in the house for a few hours when we were at church yesterday. *facepalm* He chewed off a good heckin chunk of the door frame, and ate some window blinds too. The shelter did warn us he was an escape artist.

Bless the name Harold
No doubt he is living it
It means commander.

Per Sil's past haiku -
She posted it the sixteenth -
Other forms? Fair game!
For which I am grateful, 'cause whole truth be told,
I cannot that metrical device grab hold.
It's slipp'ry and slimy and wriggles around,
And my brain or hands cannot ride it to ground.
I hold the deficiency's in me alone,
And do not disparage those who like its tone,
But billferny to haikus - that's right, with an "s" -
And huzzah! for other poeticalness.

Silly limericks

Because of the limerick's parameters
It's easy to use lots of characters
If your poems are bold
The point-earning threshold
Is as easy to clear as a banister
