Every once in a while something pops into my head that works. The rest of the time I just fake it by playing games with the words.

And I say tomato, Dave.
Oops. Wrong vegetable. Or is the tomato a fruit? I never can keep them straight. But thanks for clarifying the Haiku matter.

Hey Haiku Hooligans,
I had trouble with that for many years. Turns out it's either, depending on which dictionary you look in. If you're edging towards more traditional Japanese, then it should be haiku, but if you've anglicized yourself with no regrets, then it's haikus. You say potato....

Thanks, Tony
And I'm not sure about the plural of Haiku either. I could look it up, I suppose, but I'm feeling lazy today. As for being serious, sometimes I just can't help it. Glad you liked the group of whatever the plural of Haiku is the other day.

I confess, twas I. Sometimes even non-poets get lucky. Most of the time I have to force things. Glad you liked it.

Hi Notty - sorry I missed those excellent mock haikus - or is the plural
always 'haiku?' I ain't got a clue. Now things are gettin' serious - and that's good - don't feel you always must be light-hearted.

Double meanings are interesting. It's pretty sharp of you to catch this one so quickly.
