OK, Spin, just to stay in practice:

Chuckie’s happy now
Mumsie so enjoys his jokes
And he feels a breeze

That’s a good suggestion, Spin.
Besides, Kate and William are in love, and love means never having to say you’re soiree….

That’s cheating, JC. That’s not a haiku if you pronounce soiree the right way.

@jclimacus: Good quiz! May I add a fifth option?

e) Chuckie just said, “Look, mumsie, I’ve got one leg on the railing. Now watch me slide down!”

Chuckie’s happy ’cause he gets to wear a skirt in public.
HRH is looking rather grim. Maybe because she got stuck sitting next to the dude in a skirt…

the ‘ represents a glottal stop in some cultures, or even a clicking sound. Some Africans would interpret Ma’am as Ma Am, two syllables.

ISn’t English a wonderful language? even our punctuation messes things up!
