Haikum


I have a puncture
Which I have mended three times
My back tyre’s still flat


A man walked past me
Might have been Humphrey Bogart
Probably wasn’t


Stuffing envelopes
Is no kind of job for a
Cambridge graduate


Love is a little
Like anal penetration
One person gets hurt


A new inner tube
Is ultimately less work
It also costs more


Just when I’m thinking
Things can’t possibly get worse
It turns out I’m wrong


What is the plural
Of haiku – haiki? Haikus?
Or maybe haikum.

what a sad entry - but then every diary needs a little sadness, I think, to 'keep it real'. Plato, by the way, said much the same thing about love (and also about anal sex). So there you go.
