Fantastic, clever, & witty! Only one question. Are you familiar with senryu? Senryu is the exact opposite of haiku. Haiku is about nature. Senryu is about human elements. The true form of your poem is senryu. Both haiku and senryu have three lines as well as the 5-7-5 syllable count. A fellow poet had educated about the differences of these two forms around 4 years ago. Your poem is great and very funny. That's what senryu is. Human elements along with humor. Hope this helps.
