I'm assuming that some of these haiku fit 5 / 7 / 5 syllabic structure in the Japanese.
Conan: Did you like the Clash?
John: No. Isn't that good enough? No, no, no.
Conan: Oh Come on, elaborate. Why, did you guys think you were trying to do different things?
John: Well, their kind of songwriting really was just a few quotes from Karl Marx around a merry little melody.
Conan: With a driving back beat that just wouldn't quit!

Are you questioning people's commitment to the highest standards of construction?

yes, but also apologizing for it. haiku is a pretty high standard of contruction. mine aren't very round, but the ones you posted are pretty good.

EDIT: and Flex's was brilliant

Alright—I don't want to have to report all this to the shop steward. Inder's looking for any opportunity to break the union and turn this into an open shop.

we don't need another grievance now. a haiku's a haiku I suppose. no need to stop the line, we can just put the right bumpers on the cars in the yard. they fixed cut the crap didn't they?

I don't even know what haiku is or means, I just posted some rambling bollocks with 17 syllables.
There's a tiny, tiny hopeful part of me that says you guys are running a Kaufmanesque long con on the board
