It's very busy for trains
But quite windy too

It's competition

Sorry - no prizes!

In future I think,
All posts should be in Haiku,
as it cuts waffle.

WORLD CUP THEME...

Is Sam still happy,
with the Argies in the sweep?
could not beat the Dutch.

Sven is not a Swede,
He's a Turnip, why don't he
play Walcott last night?

Going Underground
Is happy that Mexico
are still in the Cup

No offence to Jock's
but why don't they like England
It's just sour grapes?

Is it permitted
To split words up with a dash
covering two lines?

oh hannah sorry
but "at pete-nic and know a"
contains six not five!
