After a week looking at retractions and getting thoroughly depressed, let’s lighten the mood a bit. I received (as a joke, I should add) someone’s bio in haiku form–my own fault, I asked for “a brief CV”–last week:

I sit on my butt
Hiding from controversy
Dispensing wisdom

Yeah, he’s in admin now.

Can you do any better? Tell us what you do for a living, in haiku, limerick, rhyming couplet or other poetic form. For inspiration you could check what others have already written, and if any are good enough I might throw in a signed copy of this book…

And that’s it from me for a few days. I’m off on leave until September, and will be leaving you in the capable hands of Eleanor Howell.
