Many lovely people drop by this blog each time I write haiku and boost my confidence by clicking the “like” button. Could I suggest, humbly, that you follow the blog, and that way you will automatically get each new poem as it arrives, hot from the fevered brow of creation, as well as the other bon mots and occasional sniper fire at the passing world of politics. If you are a haiku fan, clicking on the haiku tag of the blog will bring you all those I have written since the beginning of the universe.

Anyway – enjoy!

Whenever you see an article whose headline includes the word “must” for some action the writer is demanding a government take, you can be certain that the action in question will not be taken.
