In trying to elevate and enlighten the mind of My Favorite Wingnut,

I sent the following message:

Haiku: an unrhymed verse form having three lines containing usually five, seven, and five syllables respectively.


Example for Benghazi nuts:

I am a dead horse
And yet you keep kicking me
I am horse, still dead

Blood in the urine.
A tingling down the left arm.
Walk it off, Grandma.
