I stay out in the midday sun
I am an Englishman

    Hi Stan! I thought only mad Englishmen stayed out in the sun, or was it mad dogs???

    Take that last comment back, Stan! Nothing but glorious sunshine for weeks. As ever, you have come up with the ideal topic for this haiku.

    It's always good to have a laugh at the expense of the English. I'm glad it wasn't an American haiku :).
