Hello L
Thanks for your comments on Pit and Pendulum.
I didn't realise that I ran on "saw inside" to make it sound like "saw rinside". Just a laziness of pronunciation on my part, I expect.
Do you find regional variations in English hard to understand or are you OK with these differences?
I worked in Scotland some time ago at a factory where there were a lot of Polish workers. They could not understand me but could understand perfectly the locals (from Glasgow) whom I could not understand!

Hi Greg Oz was brilliant in every way: People, Scenery, food and as for the weather - what a pain to go from 36 degrees in Brisbane to the 'big freeze' here! Managed to get one poem, too, and working on another one.

Hi, John! I found this poem to be very interesting. Enjoyed listening to it. Liked the sound of your voice. But....as far as English is a foreign language for me I would like to know why you pronounced [if wimin soRinsaid menz maindz] Do you understand me? I mean that sound [R]

With warmest wishes,
Larisa

Hello Dave
Haikus don't generally do much for me.
This was an exception; so much so that I'd read it twice before I realised it was one.
Nice work.

I like the humour of this satirical poem. Very much in keeping with the cartoons that manage to poke fun jibes very close to the bone in Westminster.

Well written, good targets, good fun...what isn't there to like?

I also strongly approve of the final line/thought.
