[db-wg] proposal: haiku object

Whilst agreeing that the limerick is possibly restricted in its metrical
form, I cannot agree with the statement that it is restricted to humorous
subjects, and hence at least one of the objections to its general use is
fallacious. That the metrical scheme has considerable flexibility is
illustrated by the many examples received by the secret Working Group which
do not conform to this supposed limitation.

My solution to the lack of alternative metrical objects would simply be to
redefine all poetry as limericks. 

I feel that this would be a far more acceptable solution, and also involves
less work for the RIPE NCC. Also it has the merit of offering increased
employment opportunities for poets, who would see their services called upon
to rewrite all existing poetry in the limerick form.
