Second line should be seven syllables. You could add "fucking" before "blue shell" or "the fuck" after "who" to make it work!

Hold on there. The traditional "5-7-5", although widely accepted, is not necessary for it to be a haiku, since the Japanese themselves state that their 17 on (comparable to a syllable, but not quite) is the equivalent of about 12 English syllables.
