your first line, "This is my mouse"
lacks a syllable
Perhaps you could say:
"This mouse is my mouse" instead
thus giving five beats

quonsar predates you
and will remain when you're gone.
Show him due respect.
Could our quonsar be

The word "haiku"

Haikus are no longer the shits
Too easily written in fits
of awkward reflection...
Now here's misdirection!
Let's talk about pussies and tits!
Five seven five just cannot do,
when you're brain's filled with dark amber brew...
To few words to manage...
My recent brain damage
urges limericks instead on the Blue.

Don't leave me hangin' like a dolt.
