That's not a haiku.

Jack Tripper was pretending to be gay; that's why he was staying with the two
chicks in the first place.

I wouldn't do them.  They were too 80s.

Structure of haiku:
five, seven, five syllables
over three damn lines.

Haikus are too short
To convey all these idea
Oops, ran out of lines.

It's "haikus," plural
You stupid Japanophile
Speak English, fanboy.

You did notice
the feeling was mutual
regarding haikus.

4 syllables.

> regarding haikus.

The art of haikus is compressing lots of imagery into a small package.  Like
T.S. Eliot's non-haiku poetry and Ernest Hemingway's prose.  Same idea.  If you
can't say what you want to say in a haiku, then you don't use it, simple as
that.

I keep mistyping my haikus for some reason. That should have been "didn't".

Here's a couple of haikus I composed for a local newspaper's pirate haiku
contest.  (Tomorrow is official "Talk like a pirate," day.)

Arrr, let's crash The Edge.
Arrr, Arrrrrrrrrr, have one syllable.
ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR is it working?

(The Edge is the very slim newspaper column, about 1.5 inches wide, in
which the haikus would appear.)

and

Dank trails follow ships
Pirates fear to walk the plank
Seven seas? Sewage.
