Haikick

In Competition No. 3087 you were invited to submit haikicks. We already have short-form hybrids such as the clerihaiku (here’s one from Mary Holtby):

Peter Palumbo
Cries, ‘Mumbo-jumbo!’ and rails
At the Prince of Wales
 
And the limeraiku:
 
A haiku will do
 
For a limerick trick, called
A Limeraiku.

That was by Arthur P. Cox.
 
Now Bill Webster, veteran of these pages, has come up with a new version of the haiku-limerick combination. Hence this challenge. You responded to it with your customary vim and wit, and with the help of such notables as William Spooner, Abraham Lincoln and Jeremys Clarkson and Paxman.
 
The winners, printed below, are rewarded with a tenner per entry printed.

Abraham Lincoln
Once made America great,
When showing the place
That honour and grace
Held at the heart of the state.
Hugh King
 
Jeremy Paxman,
who once grilled MPs on toast,
chucked the third degree
and retired to be
an upmarket quiz show host.
 
Gary Lineker,
football player, then chatter,=
tweets Guardiloo views
on what’s in the news
and seems to think they matter.
Kim Brennan
 
Margaret Thatcher
Must be restless in the tomb
As Theresa May,
Going runaway,
Leads the nation to its doom.
G.M. Davis
 
George W. Bush
Is someone I used to diss.
‘He’s like Forrest Gump,’
I cried. Now, with Trump,
He’s someone I somehow miss.
Robert Schechter
 
Vladimir Putin
Is a devil in disguise.
You’ll see if you trace
The lines of his face
He’s got secret policeman’s eyes.
 
Jeremy Corbyn:
Ooh, there’s a difficult man.
His heart is quite pure,
But nobody’s sure
Whether the man has a plan.
Basil Ransome-Davies
 
Nicola Sturgeon
Is a lass who loves stating
What fun it would be
If Scotland were free.
She’s a lady in waiting.
Frank McDonald


 
Margaret Beckett
Nominated Corbyn to
Be Labour leader
Alas dear reader
A most silly thing to do.
Philip Machin

Would certainly not admire
MPs all at war
And, cocked to the shore,
He’d think they’d all gone way hire.
Alan Millard

off to ultima thule.

Into electing
A truth-neglecting
Russian asset as POTUS.
