To lampoon is to mock or ridicule using satirical humor. Think of a late-night monologue where exaggeration and humor sharpen a critique. A simple parody can be mostly innocent, but lampooning usually stings a bit.
Example: The columnist lampooned the mayor's never-ending excuses for the city's traffic problems.
Haiku is more flexible than you think. You can decide whether you want to follow all of the rules of haiku, or just some of them. Choose your own haiku adventure!
