I have been trying to

I have been trying to convince Jose to come to Patagonia with us. I have sent him numerous breathtaking pictures, and today I even sent a limerick:

There once was a guy named Jose
who thought Patagonia was way
cool ('cause there's ice)
and the penguins are nice
so he bought his plane ticket today!

"Ha," I thought. "I am so clever. How can he resist a trip like this, especially when he would be with someone as clever as myself?"

In response, I got a haiku:

I want to go really
Penguins and glaciers, why not?
If I had known sooner :(

Apparently he is a bit clever himself.

Though I chose not to point out that his haiku has too many syllables...
