Perhaps I should have said:
It may be an alias,
the name Kronalias,
But if he like you,
He'll write you a Haiku.
One thing that I would like is more than you and I, Rum, offering Clerihews.

I can't write haiku
this is my first try at it
and it's not that good
Yes Ivor, I agree, clerihews are very easy and fun. You don't need to worry about metre at all, just two rhyming couplets. Generally the first line should state the person's name and the second line should rhyme with the name but, hey, we can do what we like here
Vladimir Putin
has put the boot in
the protestors should be wary
as he is a bit scary

This seems to have stalled 
Chancellor George Osborne
has left some pensioners forlorn
but will the rich be seduced
by the fact that the top rate of tax has been reduced?
