    Haikus are 7-5-7 for syllable patterns. This would be the correct lines:

    She checks your phone to see if

    you’re cheating but all

    she finds is Star Trek memeing

    I went to check because the rhythm felt wrong. Haikus are 5-7-5. We’re two syllables too long. Maybe this would work:

    She checks your phone to

    see if you cheat but all she

    finds are Star Trek memes

      Now a limerick!
      A young Vulcan once lived in Nantucket
      His logic so sharp he could… I don’t know what to put next.

        There once was a Vulcan from Nantucket

        With a logic so sharp he could pinch hit

        In an old human game

        Which he loses, so lame

        and the rhyme for Nantucket? Amok it.

          A Vulcan they called Mister Jibbles
          once had a basket of tribbles
          they bred all night long, multiplied by the dawn
          and caused lots of trouble mayhem and giggles!

          EDIT: take a wild guess
          EDIT2: the Vulcan with logical giggles!
