<p>Oh indeed Karen
The hasty escape is key
crutches a hazard</p>
<p>Can’t Buy Me Love is
the prank’s cinematitic source
Sigh…Patrick Dempsey</p>
<p>Was this stolen?
Or did High School Life steal it?
We have haiku too!</p>
<p>I was not aware
I had to count syllables
In my past haikus.</p>
<p>No prob, coolweather.
Your compositions are great!
Always relevant.</p>
<p>People, this is bad.
I just wrote a press release
In 5-7-5.</p>
<p>Harriet, that’s GOOD!
Haiku good for everything,
Should always use it.</p>
<p>No, this is FUNNY!
Good to have a laugh Mondays.
Thank you Harriet.</p>
<p>I must use foul words
to express disappointment
Juvenile, it’s true</p>
<p>D is waitlisted
Like she asked a boy to prom
but he won’t commit</p>
<p>He wants to know which
Other girls he can dance with
Before choosing her</p>
<p>Metaphor aside
If they freaking can’t see worth
hitting their faces</p>
<p>I’ll just keep my checks
Away from their darn coffers
Pearls before the swine</p>
<p>(man did that make me feel better :D)</p>
<p>Your d’s worth more than
An admissions committee’s
Entry equation! </p>
<p>Waitlists be damned!
They are not worth her remorse
She’s better than that!</p>
<p>All hail hist’rymom!
Super Poet Laureate
works wonders with words.</p>
<p>Those historytwins
have many greener pastures.
NUTS TO THE WAITLIST!</p>
<p>Thinking this morning
What happened to the haiku?
And here hist’ry is!</p>
<p>I think Scripps is wrong
Don’t wanna go anyway
Something better waits</p>
<p>No time for regret
Upward and onward she goes
Loving her future</p>
<p>l o l my frends
she stood over my sholder
reading that epic</p>
<p>Her smile lit the room
her giggle music to hear
hope she tells them “no”</p>
<p>You are all neato
CC rents; the best support
haiku thread like home</p>
<p>There are many paths
That all lead to a single
Successful future.</p>
<p>Your daughter will find
A path that suits her just fine
To fulfilling end.</p>
<p>There are lots of boys
For dance and conversation
At everyone’s prom :-)</p>
<p>Good luck to your kids
In the next ten scary days
That skake CC world.</p>
<p>I hope in the end
Every CC parent
Will be at peace.</p>
<p>[continued]</p>
<p>The sons and daughters
Have a wonderful summer
And a great future.</p>
<p>historymom, wah!
Hoped to meet you in Claremont.
Scripps not smart enough.</p>
<p>Your bright young lady
has a wonderful future –
please share this with her:</p>
<p>Sweet, smart hist’rygal,
so many places want you –
you’re a hot prospect. :)</p>
<p>geek_son might miss you,
but Scripps doesn’t deserve you!
Make 'em take a hike!</p>
<p>When you’re a rich grad,
send your school a big fat check
and Scripps a carbon</p>
<p>with a little note –
“This, and I, could have been yours.”
Take that, stuck-up school!</p>
<p>College differs from prom
Because not everybody
Leaves with who brought them.</p>
<p>seventy/thirty
is the girl/boy ratio
he tells me, grinning</p>
<p>If twin isn’t in,
No hope for my D next year.
Claremont. Too pop’lar</p>
<p>Damn, would fit her good.
Who told everyone elsewhere
about Scripps? Damn it.</p>
<p>So selective now.
What are they looking for now?
Twin should be in now.</p>
