I have a goal of 50 days - 50 haikus - responding to 50 different songs. These are songs with lyrics that I feel close to. Number Thirty One is one of my all time favourites records and my favourite Haiku so far! We all know someone like this....There’s a Guy Works Down The Chip Shop Swears He’s Elvis by Kirsty MacColl.

There’s a Guy Works Down The Chip Shop Swears He’s Elvis

He claims he’s the king

But his lies taste like cheap chips

She wont be fooled twice.

Please check out the great poetry from Paul Stewart and Tina D. Lopez who have joined me for the ride and created some beautiful work:
