Uncle Ben has intrigued me with his use of haiku in many of his posts. I've also noticed that Night Writer is a lover of haiku, particularly when it comes to Spam. So I did some very minor research to see what the basic rules are. I checked out a couple of sites, and basically I'm just going to go with some rules set forth at How to Write a Haiku. Right now I'm only going to follow the 5-7-5 rule and try my hand at some as well.
Squirrels perform a dance
Another car is totaled
Death to jihadists
Ok, I'm gonna work on it.

That's a heckuva first effort. Keep 'em coming!
rodent warriors, vengenge sought
two fools paths cross: crash!
Oak leaves fall, but roads now safe.
That first line works ... if you pronounce squirrels as "skwirls", that is.
And I think Surly's is more snafu than haiku (it's 5-7-5, man, not 7-5-7).
How about this:
Fuzzy nut-grabbers,
They ought to be arrested
Die, you tree-rats, die!
Bonus points for the first line - five syllables and one double-entendre!
