So Murdoch, a young geriatric,
Though married three times (that's a hat-trick),
Has found a fiancée,
And it isn't Beyoncé,
But a Texan they'll dub 'Jerry'atric.

(Vincent Hefter, Daily Mail, Jan 21)
So Nigella Lawson likes to stay in her pyjamas when serving dinner? (News item.) Great idea! Makes life so much simpler: no more meals on a bed of rice. Just on a bed.
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)
