The broad beans are in
hope the savage winds abate
blustery cool May.

Boring, Boring Chelsea
Chelsea strut their stuff
‘we deserve respect’ they bleat
no! You earn respect
by Scooj
I was prompted to write this following the Arsenal v Chelsea match last Sunday. It was a nil nil draw, which saw Chelsea play a negative defensive game. At the end of the match, the Arsenal fans sang ‘Boring boring Chelsea’, which was an ironic self-reference to the days when Arsenal were boring and used to grind out results without flair or class. That team were labelled ‘Boring Boring Arsenal’
Chelsea are a bit precious, and have been complaining to the media that they should be respected. So, despite leading the Premier League by a country mile, they have not endeared themselves with the British public, and this side unfortunately, are unlikely to remembered as anything other than efficient. They need to earn respect not expect it.

Lunch Break
At my weary desk
pork pie and sandwich for lunch
dreaming of Summer.

Public sector cuts
diminish the services
we take for granted.
by Scooj
I work in the public sector and with the UK election in full swing I thought I would start to voice my thoughts through haiku. It isn’t just health and education (which are reasonably well protected) it is all the other public services we should be worried about. Especially when it comes to the environment.

there is so much we don’t see
