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)

Homeopathic ground-up Berlin Wall dust?

The brilliant Headingley Ashes Test: one thing about Jack

Great Presidents leave a mark on the world. Others leave a stain.

I hereby order sweet and sour pork and kung pao chicken.
Anything, in fact - as long as it's Chinese! (I ordered it
an hour ago - it should be hereby now, haha...)
(In response to Trump 'hereby ordering' American
