Tramp over there he\'s a itchin and a scratchin
you look down your nose, but you\'re just a watchin
would you walk in his shoes

I vote for the first version, not a classic limerick, but in consistent verse.
This old man rather often stands in the bushes and gets out his spout, and I\'m not a tramp, though the pandemic has left me looking like one.

a fun read Michael...
its all fun and games
until we all reach that certain age
and all we\'re left are endless nights
of knee entwined shuffles
to and from those horrid corridors
between us
and our white porcelain
of salvation...

And there once was a tramp from near Barking
Who whipped out his (18+) for an airing;
For this offense he had to pay,
A constable took him away
With a knot in it for safekeeping.
Great picture - as usual, Michael.

Your 5-7-5 verse at the end would be described as a senryū in the Japanese tradition. This Wikipedia paragraph says it clearly:
>>Senryū (川柳, literally \'river willow\') is a Japanese form of short poetry similar to haiku... Senryū tend to be about human foibles while haiku tend to be about nature, and senryū are often cynical or darkly humorous while haiku are more serious. Unlike haiku, senryū do not include a kireji (cutting word), and do not generally include a kigo, or season word.

I\'ll stick with limericks, haibun\'s far too complex for the likes of me.
So M.E. has wrote us a haibun
it musta been hard to compose one
was he helped by his muse
with a flagon of booze
or forced into it with a shotgun?

You been in our area? In that fine pic the white building looks like a former Chapel local to me.

beautifully sincere words - to match
your artwork\'s scene
of that everyday serene
we take for granted: too quickly...
a wonderful read Michael, hope this is merely an expression of Artistry and all is well my friend,

Let\'s hope that, with the coming of the vaccine, that Covid (should be capitalized) will become the kigo (season-word) of this haiku. A colon mark after elbows would represent the kireji.

indeed, an insightful write Michael,
personally, I think I have perfected the best system for receiving package deliveries:
throw down the rope from my ground floor window and wave \'warmly\' with my full hazmat suit zipped-up tight,
then put on my oven mitts, spray it all with 99% killing antibacterial acid, hoping all the time that 1%: doesn\'t get me at night...
\'oh those horror few seconds - we brave, between a cough and our thermometer results of fate...\' lol
(ignore me, I was just having a little fun in my scribbled reply my friend)
