Hahaha! Just lovely.

I’m not sure how I feel about “shagged” and “kicked” as one syllable words. However, I imagine your answer to that would be along the lines of “oh but Katy that is an English convention because the Japanese count sounds not syllables so this is 100% true to the Japanese haiku tradition ACTUALLY”. So on balance I think I’m going to let it go.

heheh, great, Cliff

Whenever I see the word “Argos”, all I can think of is Bill Bailey’s “Laminated Book of Dreams”: http://youtube.com/watch?v=Wj8V121FJV0

Sharon is a slag
She stole all my Special Brew
Shagged my best mate

Of course, that was not strictly haiku, as I missed the word “And” out of the last line.

To Americans
Chavs are really just badly
behaved teenagers.

But then again, most
haven’t seen them too closely.
Chavs can be older.

It could be much worse
than it is for you, you know-
at least there’s no guns.

Ed – I meant to say earlier. That was brilliant.

Mark – sterling gold, as was Scary.

Jonners – love Bill Bailey.

Katy – You’re reading too much into this.

Wendy – You’re not reading enough into this.

Hey Wendy – just messing around. Bathtub my arse, also.

I have never heard
Of these Haikus which you love,
Now it seems I have.

Ack! Thirteen comments!
This is not a good thing, no.
Now we have fourteen.

Cliff’s chavs are dated.
The youth they are now driving.
Clio, 106?
