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)

wants to neuter us!...

Dendrochronology, by any other name...

How can I tell how

old this phone is, dad?" - "Maybe

try counting the rings?"...

Time To Face The Music...

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

Is an Abbattoir

a place where Swedish livestock

meet their Waterloo?...

Second childhood means

being BOTTLE-FED again.

But this time it's Scotch.

An Englishman Abroad...

Hope springs eternal,

but ALICE SPRINGS doesn't - though

no-one quite knows why...
