Reviews for Is That All You People Think About?: A Haiku Collection
Traditionally the haiku is a Japanese poem of 17 syllables... in this book, however, Gordon Gordon cheekily subverts the form to create funny little snippets of modern life - the hell of the daily commute, celebrity deaths, giant scones judged by Mary Berry. His haikus range from the rude to the raucous, all of them are funny and they appear so simple to create... Read these and you'll be inspired to write your own.
