Björn Rudberg on "Haiku and Humor"
Humor in Haiku and renga is today's GW challenge.
We have had even classic example previously here, consider for example this one by Issa:
spring peace -
a mountain monk peeks
through the hedge
Issa
So today I (Chèvrefeuille) want you to either, write a classic haiku with humor embedded, or take a classic haiku (maybe from our earlier challenges), and to a tan renku, where your second stanza create an effect of humor through coarseness and disrespect.
Do not be afraid, this is a day to be merry.

old monk naps by pond
fresh recruits cannot resist
loud noise monk falls in
grasshopper should show respect
help me out the old monk cries
young monks grasp old hands
fast tug finds three very wet
good humor monks friend

Budda sits with rock in hand
rat stops to chat
conversation is not shared
crazed person plays whack a rat
