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'm a knob! So what?
At least it means I can fly

Roger Federer? The greatest! And that's not a
backhand compliment - it's a backhand, forehand,
serve, volley, smash AND lob compliment!...

I quite fancy Maria Sharapova. Thing is, I quite fancy
Feliciano Lopez, too. Does that make me bi-kyrios?...

The Britsh Ambassador to Washington has compared Trump
to The Terminator. Four years is bad enough - heaven help us
if he ever becomes a 'Second Term'inator!...
