My mate Ben's going to be involved in this at the beginning of June. He's the Cake Goblin:

Go attend (because it'll be interesting) and go eat his cakes (because they'll be delicious).

British hopes rest on

Walking in the woods
In platform heels is really
Not recommended

The One That Got Away

Well, we're nearly at the end of the haiku for this year's Eurovision Song Contest. In fact, there are just two more to go, including one for the United Kingdom entry. Those will come tomorrow, but first I've decided that, for the sake of completeness, I should also do a haiku for the Eurovision entry that won't be heard in either of the semi-finals on 12 and 14 May, or in the final on 16 May. Namely the one that upset hosts Russia so much that they demanded the country in question field another entry - which that country flatly refused to do. They didn't want to put in, so they decided to pull out instead. Here it is:

Eurovision Haiku #0: Georgia



Harmless disco spoof
With comedy hair - clearly
Not political

Eurovision Haiku #40: Germany

Ricky Martin meets
John Barrowman - with big lips
He sings "Let it swing"

Eurovision Haiku #39: France

La chanteuse seule et
Le rouge a levres - pourquoi?
Parce qu'elle le vaut

Eurovision Haiku #38: Russia

No Dancing on Ice
This time, just wailing, flailing
And pounding the floor
