"Sorry, he's just popped out,
I'm afraid - but I can put
you on to Brenda"...
- in 1974, Richard Bingham, 7th Earl of Lucan - the notorious 'Lord Lucan', suspected nanny murderer - disappears off the face of the earth, never to be seen again...
"Steering clear of bars and hostels, he's gone to ground between the Gospels." (Bugger me, if it's not the Lord. Not THAT one, of course.)
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)
