An Open Letter to Kings Place and Twitter regarding your Haiku competition

Hello, from America! Land of the Lost, Home of the Monkees (well, you know, except for Davy Jones), Birthplace of Monopoly®.

I recently learned that you were holding a haiku contest for commuters to Kings Cross Station in London. And I hear YOKO ONO is one of the judges!! Blimey, it’s a good thing I found out when I did! As Hamarama.com’s resident music guru, I pride myself on keeping up with all the latest music gen. Since Yoko Ono is the widow of one of most brilliant musicians of all time (John Lennon), and is a musician as well, then this is absolutely within my jurisdiction.While clearly it was a blatant oversight that I was not personally invited to contribute, I’m not brassed off. You can thank me for this masterpiece at your earliest convenience.

OK, no more fannying around. Your prize winning haiku is ready for you reading pleasure. Have a gander at this: 

Blankets of wild flowers

Endless meadows call my name

Think I’ll call in sick

 This haiku is the Bees Knees, if I may be cheeky. If every Brit doesn’t feel the same about English summers, then horses for courses, it’s all sixes and sevens, and Bob’s your uncle!!

Ok, ok, I’m not from England, and, truth be told, I’ve never been to London in summer or any season. But I’m sure my creation will be taking the biscuit.

 Until I hear from you…

 Cheers, Cheerio, Pip pip, and TTFN,

 Polythene Ham

 P.S. to Kings Place and Twitter – yeah, I submitted mine the conventional way as well.

P.S.S. to all my American readers—Please excuse the exorbitant use of British slang terms. I had to make them feel at ease. Bonus points if you know what any of them mean!
