Some 17 odd hours ago, I posted "Mathematical Haikus for Goondus* and Suakus" on Facebook. I hypothesized that composing or formulating these 17-syllabled verses may help one to balance the left mathematical part with the often-atrophied right part of the brain. Here's another lot of these 5-7-5-like crude non-seasonal poems.

* Suakus and Goondus are the Asian equivalents of Dummies, Idiots, Blockheads, and Morons.
# Kiasus are those who are afraid to lose out, displaying signs of self-centeredness and selfishness.
