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)

The Big 5: for lion, leopard, elephant, rhino & buffalo, read:

"Drinking is only a sin if you don't do it religiously," I submitted.

"Drinking is only a sin if you do it religiously," is what the

Daily Mail published. I'm now confused. Which should it be?

Remembering the son ('Toy') of Field Marshal Praphas Charusathien, ex Deputy Prime Minister of Thailand (!)

------------------------------------

I was young once. But

I can't help feeling that once

wasn't quite enough...
