Haiku

Neurotypicals
Seem odd because they can't see
The trees for the wood

More intimate with
Intimate moisturiser
Than I'd like to be

Reclaim its real name
It is International
Working Women's Day

Let’s celebrate with
Words of wit and wisdom from
Inspiring women

"Freedom is always
The freedom of dissenters"
Rosa Luxemburg

"I had crossed the line
I was free but a stranger"
Harriet Tubman

Not all suffragettes
Followed the same politics
Even the Pankhursts

Storm wrecks Tower Bridge
Repaired with love and care and
Lots of Lego bricks

This is what happens
When I spend my bus journey
Composing haiku

​You don't often see
A bull in a china shop
Ordering spring rolls

Eavesdrop on buses
Poetry manuals suggest
But no-one's talking

​Hands-free mobile plus:
You can now get away with
Talking to yourself

If The Jam had sung
'In the City of London'
A thousand things crashed

Passenger info:
Your trains are delayed due to
Privatisation

Best headline ever:
'Circumcision ambulance
Found after tip-off'

Essential reading
Communist Manifesto
A work of great class

Arguments Yard by
Attila the Stockbroker
A life of ranting

The Establishment 
A leftwards look into the
Overton Window

Ashcroft's Call Me Dave
Sold 'cause its protagonist
Knobbed a dead pig's face

Dying to be Slim
A full-fat fantasy by
Abby Beverley

Great word "tmesis"
Insertion of a swear word
Fan-fucking-tastic

Live your dreams they said 
Naked on the bus it seems 
Is not what they meant
