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)

How poor are our politicians?...
-----------------------------------------
Running a bath is
great - unlike the shower that's
running our country...
-------------------------------------
To colour your memories green
Is silly if they cannot be seen,
Like stroking the fog
Or knitting a log
(And dreaming of Idi Amin?)
Alternative ending: Then doffing your hat to a bean.

My younger sister
married a German shepherd
last year. Puppy love.
----------------------------------------------------
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.

Whatever Happened to 'Everything in Moderation'?
----------------------------------
Frothing at the mouth
is bad enough, but frothing
at the elbow? Wow!

You might still die - but only of laughter...
-------------------------------
Antidepressants?
None are quite as effective
as Nina Conti!...

iPhones, Cell phones & Homophones...
The Film Festival...
------------------------------------
Though SARDINES in cans
look fine, actresses in Cannes
seem quite overdressed...
