I come from a long line of haikuists. Or should that be three SHORT lines?...

Who doesn't like a 3-liner? (Quite a few of you don't, apparently.) Well, I'll have you know that many a critic has said of my work "at least it's in English" - and as for the great Stephen Fry, he once said of me "Vincent who?" Let's just say I supply the litter to the litterati [sic - but only at times] - ie: I write rubbish. But rubbish mostly inspired by the HAIKU, the 17th Century Japanese verse form consisting of 3 lines and 17 (5-7-5) syllables. (WARNING: flash photography and limericks)

"You don't listen to

a word I say!" - "Yes, I do!

Well, every third word"...

I'm one of the few who hasn't a phone,

(Only a landline, that's all that I've known)

I squander my savings

On indulgence and cravings,

Like biscuits and candy and eau de cologne.

Is an Abbattoir

a place where Swedish livestock

meet their Waterloo?...

"What do your cats think

about Trump, dad?" - "They're on the

Who Shot the Serif?...

TIMES NEW ROMAN walks

into a bar. "Sorry, we

don't serve your type here"...
