I’ll stick to my limericks, thanks. Haven’t written any for a loooong time. I actually write better in Dutch/Afrikaans 

OK then:

‘n Dame van Nederlands uit,
Sê, ‘Jammer, hoor, maar dit my spyt,
‘n Haiku skryf ek nie;
Vir my het geen plek nie;
Want ek eet nie rys vir ontbyt!’ 

(A lady from Netherlands source,
Said, ‘Though I am sorry, of course,
I do not write haiku,
And I would not like to –
My breakfasts have no rice in force!’)

 Cogito ergo sum:
Descartes before de horse?
(‘I think, therefore I am,’
is what that says, of course;)
But that would surely mean
that if you do not think,
You’d swiftly leave the scene,
Snuffed out within a wink!
The theory’s thus disproved:
Malema’s* still on call,
And Zuma’s** not removed …
Who’ve never thought at all!

 

*(Or: Cameron’s still on call.)
**(Or: …;/ Obama’s not removed.)
