I read it as
I think I'm go-ing mad
De-tec-tives shoul-dn't do hai-ku
They should solve crimes
But hey, I only just scraped through my GCSE English. I even I don't trust my own opinion.

Can't help myself...
So, what is Haiku?
A way to waste time counting
syllables, I think!

If you read "going" as " goin" in one syllable and take out "do" in the second line... and add in "some" into the last line... I think it could be called a haiku, Marms.

*nods* I'd agree with that.
However, Secret Squirrel's Haiku seems quite apt at the moment. Better than counting beans though. Bleh... accountancy.

Not to be nitpicking but following 5,7,5 is a must when writing HAIKU, which BTW is actually 3syllables. An often overlooked aspect of Haiku is that it usually involves some aspect of nature or the seasons.
