<p>My other two: boys.
S1 could wear his dad’s tux -
if he were shorter.</p>
<p>Contact U.S. News!
Haikus for college parents
Will help sell rankings!</p>
<p>Best to reserve one
Before the stock is down to
nightmares of our youth.</p>
<p>I don’t think S1
fancies himself Travolta,
or wants blue ruffles!</p>
<p>Nice thought, gadad,
but in this economy…
I want royalties!</p>
<p>geek_mom, royalties
in this economy? You
ARE a funny one.</p>
<p>Oh, good idea –
another thing on the list
to do this weekend!</p>
<p>I can’t imagine
geek_son in a tuxedo,
but he’s got the date.</p>
<p>Nice figure he’ll cut,
since this term the coach offered
a weight-lifting class. :)</p>
<p>Harriet, I try…
all of us have to have some
feelings of self-worth!</p>
<p>Hey everybody,
sorry for the double post –
CC acting up!</p>
<p>This thread
Is a blast.
It makes my day go fast.</p>
<p>Next challenge for us
CC chat in sonnet form
ready set and go</p>
<p>Don’t know anything about sonnet
So will not try my best
To take your test.</p>
<p>Ditto coolweather’s
words about sonnet; I like
this short, easy fun.</p>
<p>But please, musica,
post some rules for all of us
to think about it. :)</p>
<p>My verse is a wreck
back to the octomom thread
End of day malais</p>
<p>My sonnet’s a ruse
My talent’s not up to snuff
forget about it</p>
<p>moms fret not at their haiku’s narrow bonds
. . .
um . . . looks like twelve more lines like this to go!</p>
<p>And then that summarizing couplet turning back
Oh heck I’ve seriously lost the knack.</p>
<hr>
<p>Kid thinks that’s funny.
English major parents, ha!
Haiku, I can do.</p>
<p>Harriet, no thanks!
Too long and complex for me,
Rhythmic lines and rhyme.</p>
<p>Maybe this weekend –
if the kitchen’s finally clean –
then I’ll try sonnet.</p>
<p>But tell your kiddo
that laughing at his elders
is not too polite. :p</p>
<p>Son’s hair is too long
Battle of the Bands upcoming
But visit to U is also</p>
<p>Mom would like to cut
Maybe the middle of night
Haircut fairy visit</p>
<p>My own is bad too
However my reason is great
Visit and cut soon</p>
<p>A NYC trip
Time with D and stylist too
Till then bangs in eyes</p>
<p>@oregon101:
Hey, what '09 thread?
A nagging voice in my head
says I’ve missed something…</p>
<p>Prom dresses special
Even at eighty eight years old
My mom still has ours</p>
<p>Four daughters she had
Finally birthed one lone son
He had long curls too!</p>
<p>I let son grow his…
now it’s short as short can be:
He hated tangles.</p>
<p>My small victory:
Got it out of his system –
knows hair care takes work!</p>
<p>oregon, your trip
is the perfect antidote
to shaggy-son Angst.</p>
<p>S1 consented
to trim two inches last week.
I’d rather five more!</p>
