We voted for a republican raid
But Boehner and McConnell are staid
The RINOs all mob them
But they’re part of the problem
I think that both of them need to get laid

I trained my dog to stay.
I was so happy the other day -
I said “stay” and he staid!

Your haiku syllable-counting leaves something to be desired.

I was excited when Heather’s parents left for the evening, but her staid grandmother stayed on the couch between us, sharing her favorite cat pictures from several decades with only Mr. Buttons, Miss Kitty, Boots, Snowball, Smokey, Shadow, and their predecessors for company.

When his girlfriend told Bubba he needed loosen up and be open to change he replied, “I’d rather just be me in staid.”
