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)

I can't complain, but
if I did, would you listen?
I...hello?...hello?...

- you'll have to excuse me now, it's dinner time - tagliatelle-vision (TV Set meal for one, yummy!)
