Oh wait, wait, wait.... minor snag.

Time trav el ing can ni bal mer maids has... um... 9 syllables. That's a bit long to cram into a haiku, unless I a. abbreviate or b. ditch the syllable rule. What should I do?

I'd say ditch the syllable structure and keep things as condensed as possible, plus you don't necessarily have to use 'time-traveling cannible mermaids' in every bit. 'They' works fine.
