There once was a man from Siam
Who ate lots of beans and Spam
Al Gore came to scold
the neighbor, he told
He forgot to recycle the can
I only re-wrote it twice. Oh yeah, I'm just that good.
Here's another one, just off the cuff:
(Jennie's twins: A Haiku)
Plural pals, sleep now
Mama waits to snuggle you
two more cute Herbst-es
But, what I started with was this:
Jennie hears two hearts
"I'll be as big as a HOUSE!"
Little stinkers laugh
I need to slow down and just get things done around here. I was hoping this weekend would be my "get the school stuff organized" weekend, but the humidity is up and the A/C is DOWN. Yikes.
Okay, going down the wrong path now so it's time to screw around again:
Doris the cat went to jail
for getting caught out in the hail
"I didn't expect
that I'd get so wet
and now, I'm hairless and pale."
Got hail-pelted cats on my mind, I guess.
Oh, here's another one for Mike:
Beer: A Haiku
(I love the title, it's so contradictory in that it's so earthy and sophisticated, all at the same time, don't you think?)
It's called a "Beer Club"
A whole bunch of microbrews
One giant headache
Of course, how could I not end this fabulous post-etry without a tribute to my beloved:
Butch was a husband I had
the kids and I called for him, "DAD?"
We looked and we looked,
could not find where he booked...
he was in the garage being bad.
Okay, that one was kind of for Mike, too.
