I was telling a chap at my work about Harry and Pearly's astrology charts and he wrote these haikus for them. What do you think? I was fair chuffed! He's captured them pretty well.

Rufty-tufty Harry
Enthusiastic yet sly
Mischievous greyhound

Sensitive Pearly
With her loveable nature
Intelligent dog

A haiki is a japanese poem, so I am assuming a haikus is something to do with this

They're great Fiona! Can we print them?

Haikus are Japanese poems and usually have the syllable format 5, 7, 5. You should be able to read the full verse taking only one deep breath apparently

Quite complex if you look them up on Wikipedia.

All very high brow and artistic, called me an old fashioned gal but I like a good limerick.

A single young greyhound called Harry
Never thought for a minute he'd marry
Then a beautiful Pearl
Set his heart all a whirl
That Harry well he didnae tarry

Of course you can! My chum would be chuffed to bits to see them in print.

I like a good limerick too, here's mine:


There is a "young" girl called Fiona


Who is becoming a bit of a moaner


Cos she just wants a grey


But, she'll have one some day


And be proud to be his new owner!


How about a limerick competition to raise funds??

Well, your finger crossing worked Teresa! I found out today I have got a new job with the Dogs Trust, it's near my house and once I'm settled in I'm hoping I can foster!!!
