"I've gone through life wondering, "What if the hokey-cokey is what it's all about?" Have you ever thought about that? It could be, couldn't it? 'Cause that's what I was told, when I was a kid. "You put your left leg in... that's what it's all about." I'm not saying it is, I'm saying "what if?" I never really knew what it was all about so any signsin that general direction I was willing to pick up. And that's a view of the world my parents regularly expressed to me at moments of high mirth and emotion. That's cockney Zen, that is."

Haiku
by Simon Bird
Ironically
This haiku's final word is
Monosyllabic
If
by Arthur Smith
If you can roll along at a decent pace
And you find that your rear
Contains lots of space
If you have windows at the front
Yet none at the side
And offer a smooth unflashy ride
If you have a red and white flag
On your bonnet
And can never imagine doing a ton
Then yours is the road and everything on it
And, which is more, you'll be a van, my son.
