  There was an old man
  From Peru, whose lim'ricks all
  Look'd like haiku. He
  
  Said with a laugh, "I
  Cut them in half, the pay is
  Much better for two."

Found on the net. No idea who's it is!

What has this got to do with hacking? I can't see any point in it.

Hackers push boundaries. Haikus limit sentances, so you have to cram!

    Arbitrarily
    Pushing boundaries is not what
    Hackers do, at all.

    Random mutation
    Is not usually an
    Improvement. It fails.

Haikus are easy but sometimes they don’t make sense Refrigerator

  I am reluctant
  to upvote any haikus that
  employ plagiarism.

  The point can't be taught.
  QWAN will always elude you.
  You code but don't hack.

  A place for haikus, but not
  lame internet memes.

     Haikus need _kigo_ -
     OP is not a haiku.
     But neither is this.
