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.

Solved my tenth case at midnight
Hours wasted? NO!

Client locked his doors
Broke in and found diary
Waste of several clicks.
