But the modern school system unfortunately misses a crucial point about haikus: they must refer to the seasons. Also he seems unable to count syllables...
Therefore:
The fat green frog thought.
How can I find a frog wife?
Scarce are winter flies...

that Haiku is based in a non-latinate language, and the rules for english haiku are merely approximations subject to minor interpretative differences.
"For example, they didn't take into account that in Japanese syllables are counted differently. What may be considered a 12-syllable verse in the West, may be counted as 17 in the East"
As for the seasonal thing, I think your version somewhat loses the original pun
