_______
Enjoy this hilarious collection of over 200 haikus that sum up the complex, confusing and often compounding character of the British people.
The Sellotape end
Unlocatable it seems
Christmas is cancelled
How many gin tins
Is decreed appropriate
For this train journey?
The sound of a splash
My Hobnob falls to pieces
My tea is sullied
Every houseplant
Suffers a slow painful death
I am a monster
You're at the seaside
A seagull eyes your Magnum
You won't win that fight
A sidesplittingly truthful portrayal of everything that is quintessentially British.
