As the resident poet I would like to acknowledge the humor in this.  (ha
ha)  And also point out that a haiku is traditionally 17 syllables in 3
lines broken up into 5, 7, and 5 syllables each line and following this
traditional paradigm I would suggest classifying the above poem (4 lines, 9
syllables total) as a "Very Short Poem", and perhaps even as "The
Quintessential Jewish Very Short Poem."

On the other hand, I'm not all that traditional.
