  This reminds me how some Russian poets in the year 2000 decided that as a replacement to the elements of Haiku lost during an adaptation they need to create a new dimension to it, and so Huiku (Хуйку, from the Russian swear word хуй (dick)) was made which additionally requires first letters of every line to combine into a Russian cursing. Here is the manifest: https://lleo.me/huiku/manifest.htm https://lleo.me/huiku/manifest.htm It contains an example: Сижу один под кустом, Рот открыл в изумленье. Удивительно лес красив. Which literally translates into "I am sitting alone under a bush, My mouth is open in awe. The forest is amazingly beautiful." and first letters of each line combine into "сру" which means "I am shitting". May be similar idea can be used for English. Sadly English has way less three letter swear words than Russian.
