One more example of not having the standard form is “Limeraiku”:
There’s a vile old man
Of Japan who roars at whores,
“Where’s your bloody fan?”
A composite form, Limeraiku.
Combines Limerick into the haiku
Rhyme and rhythm make sense
But I’ll risk the offence
Of cod-pidgin and say “me-no-likeu”.

“This Limerick-monger named Syme”
Said His Honour, "deserves to do time
"I’d forgive the odd prank
"Such as robbing a bank
“But never a maladroit rhyme.”
