(Daily Mail, Jan 15)
(17 Syllables, Gary Lineker divorce.) I'll keep a record from now on. My first submission to The Daily Mail / The Mail on Sunday......along the lines of "All this talk of Bell batting at 3 was obviously premature. It'll probably be 3:45" (topical at the time)......was around the end of July last year. More than one a week accepted since then - must be around 40 by now. Should have kept a record from the get-go. Mind you, now I'm recording them, they'll stop using them. Hey, a geek's got to do what a geek's got to do (bit tougher when you're an Englishman abroad and often the last with the news, mind).
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)
