OD'ing on all the testosterone in the bloke logs, so I came over here for a flash of well turned ankle.

And also 'cos I came with a Dickensian Grt. Exptn. Haiku.

The table is laid
promises made and broken
like to strike gold lad?

I should probably post this on the main blog but just saw this "World Haiku Review"

"In Praise of Non-Japanese Haiku" is very good.
Wish I had studied it before dashing off those two
silly non-haiku haiku.
