Will a clerihew do?
…sent me looking for the definition and examples of clerihew, which led to finding this jewel from its explanation in Wikipedia:
Did Descartes
Depart
With the thought
“Therefore I’m not”?

The lines of a haiku are supposed to be exactly 5/7/5. (That’s actually the Western take on the original Japanese form which is more nuanced - meaning of course that there’s an inevitable English speaking upper layer of snobbish in-the-know true haiku enthusiasts.)
But your poem has the value of actually triggering out loud laughter.

It was supposed to be a clerihew… 
Guess I’ll have to try harder next time…

Having read about the Puritans, as well as having read some of their own writings, I’d strongly second this. They were a complex movement / community. They were not without their problems, but I hate to see them reduced to being an insult term as they often are in contemporary usage.

Tis true–Puritans embraced

My mistake, since the original thread was haiku, somehow I thought you were trying to write a haiku and didn’t realize that you’d just offered us a perfect clerihew. Well done.
