Haiku. The poetry that does not rhyme
Haiku, unrhymed poetic form consisting of 17 syllables arranged in three lines of 5, 7, and 5 syllables respectively. The haiku first emerged in Japanese literature during the 17th century, as a terse reaction to elaborate poetic traditions, though it did not become known by the name haiku until the 19th century.-- Encyclopedia Britannica
So, you have three lines.
First line, five syllables.
Second line, seven syllables.
Final line, again five syllables.
Popular in Japan for describing the Cherry Brossoms and mist along the mountains.
But one of my favorites is:
You never feed me.
Perhaps I'll sleep on your face.
That will sure show you.
Okay. Now you try.

Totally insincere yet
Summer sun rises."
And yet, here you are
Just joking bro
C'mon mate, maaaaaate. You can't just say things like that to our resident preacher/teacher/philosopher.
There's a time and a place. If it wasn't for Fargo, I don't know where I'd be.......one things for certain though, Fargo needs love and compassion. Seriousely mate, who cares if Fargo runs on one cylinder least of all one brain cell.
He probably drives an EV from China with a battery but regardless bro. Fargo has every right to teach us as he teaches kindergarten minions without actually teaching Jac
Give Fargo a go mate. We rely on Fargo's words of wisdom

"Mister Bo Bo's a hobo,
Like a bonobo;
A monkey first class."

Dedicated to the one and only twins Lover and Fargo
"@bod duh! doh but thank you for trying to teach me as an old dog new tricks. I studied Latin too."
Yeah but 'Latin' wasn't in question was it.
How do you say 'strawman argument' in Latin?
Anyways bro, is verbatim verboten?
Nice try mate. You almost made your weaselly excuse strawman out of Worzel Gummidge look credible.
All the best Fargo. I suggest that instead of teaching Asians English, you should perhaps learn English first.
