I’m shutting off my computer now …
Give test answers in Haiku.
Bonus points for style?
The Professor has kept all his writings since high school. I, on the other hand, burnt my oldest stuff in a fit of pique shortly after high school, and then destroyed the rest of what I had shortly after college. I’d published a little bit when I was young, but had a moment of revelation…
Bob Keesham, who played Captain Kangaroo, died today. His show was a huge part of my childhood. It started the year I was born, and was still running when I was in my twenties. Believe me, there were quality shows for kids long before Sesame Street. Mr. Greenjeans, Mr. Moose, Bunnyrabbit, Miss Frog … now…
Life’s little ironies … I get busy at work, and suddenly there’s very little of interest to write about. The Professor is attempting to “normalize” his schedule (as he puts it) yet again. Tonight he won’t be going to bed until around 6:00. At this rate, he’ll be normalized just in time to return to…
Several days after I was laid off in August I lost my MedicAlert bracelet. It was my own fault. The clasp had been faulty for ages and I’d put off getting it repaired. It was an upgrade to the first bracelet I got back in 1997, when I first needed to wear one of those…
I’ve just spent some time meandering about the site meter statistics. It always surprises me when I get a random hit from someone doing a search on the Google search engine. Louden Wainwright III has pulled in the most hits, followed closely by “Platzgraff” dishes. But “Newest Diets 2001”? (From my entry that had the…
I only stopped in for a brief peek. I was emphatically NOT going to make another diary entry today. Well, OK, I was maybe going to do a Magnetic Poetry Creation entry. But not for a while yet. I haven’t even written one today. Your Results: You were male in your last earthly incarnation. You…
Never did grok it.
Haiku is like bad shorthand.
Pear blossoms shudder.
No offense to you.
I don’t GET haiku verses.
Study tomorrow.
I’ll stop….

Straining mightily
On a feverish spring day
Is most unseemly
Now I understand
I sadly lack ambition
You will not lack wealth
The Koi will languish
The cherry blossom wither
But you will succeed
Retreat if you must
But you started this game dear
Victory is mine!
🙂
Thanks for the fun!
