Haiku - Wednesday 6th July 2016 1/. My fairground mirror Turns me all fat and wobbly I need a new one 2/. Summer’s not talking Because we like Christmas snow Moping behind clouds 3/. Life without sequel We have to do it all now Before the big fin 4/. Dewey Decimal New Kindle for each fresh book Daft millionaire 5/. Casinos don’t play Pocket Battleships, Hop-Scotch Or Snakes And Ladders Arthur Chappell
