I never stated
that I wouldn't follow rules.
  I'm just not for them.

   However sometimes
    a bit of tradition is
     right up my alley.

      My first missive was
   addressing a comment re:
     "pseudo-haiku" rules.

    Haiku starts with five
pops out to form for seven
   and concludes on five.
