In Competition No. 3087 you were invited to submit haikicks. We already have short-form hybrids such as the clerihaiku (here’s one from Mary Holtby):

Peter Palumbo
Cries, ‘Mumbo-jumbo!’ and rails
At the Prince of Wales
 
And the limeraiku:
 
A haiku will do
 
For a limerick trick, called
A Limeraiku.








That was by Arthur P. Cox.
 
Now Bill Webster, veteran of these pages, has come up with a new version of the haiku-limerick combination.
