Abstract
The article "When Limerick Meets Haiku" under the section "Just some fun" tells the story of two individuals who use the art of haiku writing to bring joy and purpose to their daily lives.

Opinions
There once lived a guy in a big city
he never wasted a moment in pity
once while in a long queue,
he tried to create haiku
when finally out of the queue he ended up with haikus in plenty
There once lived a joyful bhikku
who was often found writing haiku
“What’s your secret of joy?”
he was asked by a boy
to which the bhikku replied: “writing nonsensical haiku”
