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)

film the 'Airplane' series once

a good pop song needs a hook (sorry, all you fish out there)
********************************
a fish that sings in
the wrong quay is probably
an out-of-tuna...

You couldn't make it up: a New Year's Eve fireworks display...a hotel restaurant with a thatched roof...
Exactly - suffice to say, it wasn't just the revellers who were burnt out the next morning.
The year can only get better.
Vincent Hefter, Kotu, The Gambia (actually, personally speaking, a day trip to a Senegal game reserve was a pretty good start to the year, to be honest)
